Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bo again.
So today, we are going to talk about McConnell
and his response to Schumer.
And we'll just kind of run through it
because Schumer gave his speech
and when that speech went out,
everybody knew there was going to be a response
from the other side of the aisle.
The Republican party was not going to just leave that
hanging out there and not say anything.
something was going to to occur. There was going to be some kind of pushback
and it appears that McConnell is the person
who is going to be doing that. And that makes sense
on a political level. Both of them are the top person
in their party in the Senate. So it it makes sense. The thing is
the pushback was incredibly tame. It was way less
than I expected. It was basically, we don't do this to allies, we don't do this to democracies,
this is completely outside the norm. And didn't really address any of the substance beyond saying
it's not our business, imagine what would happen if Canada invaded the U.S. And that was kind of it.
I think most people were expecting a whole lot more, but the key part is you
can't spend years hyperventilating about foreign interference in our democracy
and then turn around and tell allies, particularly Democratic allies, who their
leaders should be and when they have elections. It's just completely a
variance with the way we typically operate in a foreign country, which is to
deal with whatever government has been chosen in a democracy. I mean, that's not
exactly, that's not exactly sharp criticism. That's not sharp pushback.
What he's saying is why it was a big deal because the United States doesn't do
that. It is completely outside the norm. The pushback that was expected from the
Republican Party on this, it really hasn't materialized in the way I think
that most people were expecting. And to be honest, I don't know what to make of
it. I do not know what to make of it. So at this point, it has been very tame. I don't
know that it's going to end here. This may be one of those things where they're going
to slowly ramp up the criticism. But the anticipated pushback, it's there. But it is not nearly
what I think anybody expected it to be.
So we'll have to wait and see how it develops,
but at this moment, it's a pretty big surprise.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
