Exchange of the Day

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was interviewed by Jonathan Swan:

SWAN: So, moral red lines, where do you draw them?

McCONNELL: Um, I am perfectly comfortable with the way I have conducted my political career and I’d be happy to respond to any specificity to the term… what was it?

SWAN: Moral red lines.

McCONNELL: Well, I am very comfortable with my moral red lines.

Tim Miller: “The best part of this exchange is that McConnell seems to be genuinely befuddled that one might expect him to have a moral red line. He literally can’t come up with anything. Acts as if that’s a gotcha question. Because for him it is, since he has none.”
