@9LX573J2yrs2Y

@9LX5XPM2yrs2Y
Yes, because at the end of the day he is just a citizen now, and not the president.

McConnell's take on the need for strong leadership and accountability, even for former presidents, underscores the importance of principle over party loyalty, a stance more Republicans should embrace.
Mitch McConnell's recent statements highlight a clear and present need for strong leadership in both international affairs and within the GOP.
