Jan. 20, 2022
Tweet: Democrats' election takeover bill is not a response to any state law. It is a sweeping, radical power grab that they first drafted in 2019. Bureaucrats would get new power to police citizens' online speech. The federal government would start directly funding political campaigns.
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2022

Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 22, 2021

June 22, 2021
