Hypocrisy So Thick

you could walk on it. Mitch McTurtle's rationale for cancelling the Senate's August recess:

Due to the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats of the president’s nominees, and the goal of passing appropriations bills prior to the end of the fiscal year, the August recess has been canceled,” McConnell of Kentucky said in a statement on Tuesday.
(emphasis added -- as if you needed it.)

McTurtle obviously has the same sense of history that his boss does. (You don't think Trump is his boss? Guess again.)

What the article points out, and what is probably more on point, is that cancelling the recess is going to hamstring the ability of vulnerable Democrats to go home and campaign. And don't ever think he's not that underhanded.
