July 26, 2021 Tweet - "Just months ago, Americans were very optimistic. But on this Administration's watch, that has plummeted. Higher inflation and costs, higher crime, COVID uptick, border crisis.

April 30, 2021 Tweet - "This Administration wants to raise taxes to nudge families toward the kinds of jobs Democrats want Americans to have, in the industries they want to exist, using the kinds of childcare they endorse. These plans aren't about creating options; they're imposing a vision." Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 8, 2021 Tweet - "Democrats' "infrastructure" proposal goes way beyond what working Americans would call infrastructure.

Nov. 17, 2020 Tweet - "House Democrats' so-called "HEROES Act" is so unserious that it was condemned by the Speaker's own moderate Democrats the instant she put it out.

July 31, 2020 Tweet - "Republicans tried several ways to extend unemployment benefits. Democrats blocked them all.

Mitch McConnell
July 30, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats are holding up urgent help for struggling people over completely unrelated liberal wish-list items, like massive tax cuts for rich people in blue states.

May 14, 2020 Tweet - "House Democrats' huge new bill would cut taxes for blue-state millionaires, send government checks to illegal immigrants, and -- wait for it -- mandate two separate taxpayer-funded studies of diversity in the cannabis industry.

April 3, 2020 Tweet - "I'm glad Speaker Pelosi is again standing down from efforts to use this crisis to push unrelated left-wing priorities. The latest proposal had been a massive tax-code giveaway for wealthy people in blue states that was instantly panned by economists across the spectrum." Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 23, 2020 Tweet - "These are just some of the unrelated demands Senate Democrats have used to slow relief for workers and families: Tax credits for solar and wind energy Special treatment for Big Labor Airlines' emissions standards This is a crisis.
