Politician
July 10, 2019
Tweet - "Vladimir Putin's efforts to interfere in our 2016 elections were completely unacceptable. And they did not come out of nowhere. They were preceded by eight years of growing Russian assertiveness in foreign meddling while the Obama administration failed to confront it."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 10, 2019
Election Security
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 4, 2019
Tweet - "On our Independence Day, I am also thinking of the people of Hong Kong, Burma, Venezuela, and so many other places where the struggle for freedom, democracy, and human rights continues to this day."

Sen. Rand Paul
June 28, 2019
Tweet - "In modern warfare, time is of the essence. Senate Democrats are proposing a dangerous amendment that would hamstring the executive branch from reacting quickly in a crisis and prevent the U.S. from taking decisive action."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Border Security
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "House Democrats have had eight weeks to pass emergency border funding. All they could pass was a partisan bill that failed in the Senate. The Senate's bill is overwhelmingly bipartisan and what can be signed into law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "'I'm glad our House colleagues passed the Senate's bipartisan funding bill for the humanitarian crisis on our southern border. I just signed off on this badly-needed legislation and now it's finally on its way to the President's desk."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Rogers Applauds Emergency Border Security Victory
Rep. Hal Rogers
June 27, 2019
National Defense
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "The Senate will not pass a border supplemental bill that cuts funding for ICE and the Department of Defense. We already have our compromise. The Shelby-Leahy bill is the only game in town. It's time to quit playing games and make a law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 26, 2019
Udall, Kaine Statement on Iran Vote Agreement
Sen. Rand Paul, ...

Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 26, 2019
Tweet - "Both sides of the aisle have talked a lot about the border crisis. But that's all House Democrats have done: talk. It's Senate Republicans who have worked towards a productive, bipartisan compromise that would begin to address the humanitarian crisis at the border."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 25, 2019
Tweet - "Iran's aggression, violence, and threats to global commerce affect the entire world. I hope all nations will join the United States and its allies in condemning Tehran and imposing significant consequences for its hostile acts."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 25, 2019
Tweet - "Current events are a stark reminder of the Senate's responsibility in maintaining our military's readiness. This week we're considering critical defense legislation that would authorize vital investments in American strength. It deserves huge bipartisan support and swift passage."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 25, 2019
Tweet - "I was surprised to hear my colleague the Democratic Leader call for postponing this defense legislation so Democrats running for president can skip town. National security comes first. The Republican majority will be right here, working and voting to make America stronger."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 24, 2019

McConnell on Fox & Friends
