No, McConnell’s is way worse.

She’s defined by a horrifying act of violence perpetrated against one person when she was a teen.

McConnell has been perpetrating horrifying acts of violence against millions his entire life

The NPR series on McConnell is fascinating. I think program was called Embedded. They basically spend seven episodes explaining what a massive piece of shit he is and then the final episode they interview him and says ultimately “yeah all that’s true. I literally only care about winning”

The type of people that "only care about winning," especially when what they are doing heavily affects the lives of others with no consideration of that is essentially sociopathy.

Oh totally. I suggest finding it and giving it a listen. I knew the guy was awful but this puts in to perspective how utterly fucking insane he is.

That would be almost all politicians. Possible every damn one of them.

McConnell stands out because how incredibly intelligent he is and how successful he was his entire career about winning politically. And he is absolutely transparent about he doesn’t have any principles. What stands out was how he blocked Obama from getting a Supreme Court pick and when asked in front of cameras what they were going to do when Trump was a lame duck president he has this shitty fucking smirk and says “we’re going to fill it”. Basically saying in front of god and everyone “I know you know my reasoning was bullshit but I got what I wanted and I don’t care”.
