McConnell Says GOP Will Be ‘Firewall’ Against Socialism

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told the Washington Examiner that his strategy is for Republicans Senate candidates to run as the “firewall against socialism.”

Said McConnell: “I never thought in my lifetime we’d be having a debate about the virtues of capitalism. For goodness sake, we are. If you’re uncomfortable with things like the Green New Deal and Medicare for none, the best way to avoid that is to have a Republican Senate.”

He added: “This is a better argument for the president to make as well, but he makes his own decisions.”
