Mitch McConnell Is Already Trying to Train Wreck the Biden Admin
b'It is said that before Barack Obama\\u2019s inauguration in 2009, a group of Republicans got together and vowed to oppose everything that he would do, or rather, try to do. Did the Trump loyalists on the hill and Mitch McConnell\\u2019s Republicans huddle together last night and make a similar vow, this time for President-Elect Joe Biden? It\\u2019s a possibility, says Michael Tomasky, special guest on today\\u2019s members-only episode of The New Abnormal, which happened LIVE on Zoom. Even if they didn\\u2019t, Tomasky, and co-hosts Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast, know that Mitch\\u2019s sneakiness isn\\u2019t ending with the Trump administration. Take the impeachment for example, says Rick: \\u201cThey\\u2019ll pretend they\\u2019re doing to convict him,\\u201d but they, mainly Mitch, won\\u2019t. \\u201cIf he meant it, they would have done it. I think he\\u2019s leaning slightly more toward it, only because the \\u201822 [race] map is staring at him a little bit.\\u201d They\\u2019re all still tied to the race, so Mitch\\u2019s games will continue. In fact, he\\u2019s already trying to trainwreck Biden. \\u201cIf Mitch McConnell wants Josh Hawley to wear a Spongebob outfit, he will do that. He is letting Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz play their game,\\u201d says Rick. Speaking of the Biden administration, the crew shares what 46 should say in his inauguration address, and the question almost leaves them stumped. \\u201cThere needs to be an acknowledgment of the precarious place we\\u2019re in. He needs to explain to the American people what a perilous place we\\u2019re in and what we can do to come back,\\u201d says Tomasky. Rick agrees (\\u201cYou can\\u2019t have a car crash like this and not talk about it. There needs to be some sternness to it, too.\\u201d) and Molly goes even further. One word: accountability. Plus! Rick, Molly and Tomasky surmise what Trump could have possibly said to Biden in the letter he left for him (a mention of a gorilla channel??), how the Bannon pardon was a \\u201cfuck you moment,\\u201d the DNC\\u2019s next moves and, of course, the Trump administration\\u2019s very last Fuck That Guy, to which Rick and Molly bring the heat.
