McConnell Only Republican to Vote Against Gabbard

The Hill, a Voice of the Crust.
Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Wednesday voted against confirming former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) to serve as the nation’s top intelligence official, sending a strong message to fellow GOP senators, some of whom privately doubted her qualifications to hold the job.
McConnell was the only Republican senator to vote against Gabbard, who came under heavy scrutiny over her past opposition to expanded surveillance authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and her refusal to call former government contractor Edward Snowden a traitor for stealing 1.5 million classified documents.

RINO Mitch is at it again, straining at gnats and swallowing camels.
