Let this be a lesson to any Republican stupid enough to go out on a limb to do McConnnell’s dirty work: he will leave you out to dry, then cut off the limb you’re standing on to save his own behind.

Make no mistake: McConnell picked Lankford for this kamikaze mission because 1) Lankford isn’t up for re-election until 2028, and 2) Lankford didn’t have the experience or wits to accomplish anything substantive against Schumer and Biden, whose goals on immigration and Ukraine perfectly align with McConnell’s.

It was vintage Mitch McConnell: work feverishly behind the scenes on behalf of his donors and the Uniparty to fleece taxpayers, pick an unsuspecting dupe to bear the public burden of carrying McConnell’s slop bucket, then throw the poor dupe right under the bus when everything goes sideways.
