McConnell says Taylor Greene's embrace of conspiracy theories a 'cancer' to GOP, country
Source: The Hill
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blasted Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer for the Republican Party.”
“Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality,” McConnell said in a statement first shared with The Hill. “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party.”
McConnell didn't mention Greene by name in his three-sentence statement, but his rare, scathing remarks about a freshman GOP lawmaker from the other chamber suggests he recognizes the potential damage her violent rhetoric and bizarre conspiracy theories could inflict on congressional Republicans as they try to take back both the House and Senate in next year’s midterms.

11. Mitch is now, officially, a post turtle.
“Have you ever met or saw someone doing a job and wonder, ‘How the hell did they ever get in that position?’
I once was told by someone that they referred to those people as ‘post turtles.’ When people say phrases like these, my curiosity is peaked.
‘Ok, you got me! What is a post turtle?’ He said, ‘Every once in a while you see a turtle on a fence post. He can’t go anywhere; he’s kind of stuck and he doesn’t know how he got there or what the hell he’s doing there.’
‘That’s a post turtle, but you don’t blame the turtle for his lack of post-sitting skills or finesse. It’s better to blame the dumb ass that put him there in the first place.’ “
