Mitch McConnell's deeply disingenuous call for Barack Obama to keep 'his mouth shut'

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/12/politics/mitch-mcconnell-donald-trump-barack-obama/index.html


Taken broadly, what McConnell is doing here is what Trump and his party have been doing for the last three-plus years: Shattering every possible presidential norm with glee while also demanding that political opponents adhere to those same norms. I've lost count at the number of times Trump expresses faux shock at the language used by one of his rivals even as he curses and impugns them without a second thought. Or demands that someone be fired for making a mistake or airing an incorrect claim even as he has racked up literally thousands of misstatements and falsehoods during his time in office.
