Lexington Herald-Leader op-ed: McConnell is Kentucky’s shame, in impeachment proceedings and everything else
By LINDA BLACKFORD
Nothing matters.
It’s been hard to avoid that feeling the past few years. It doesn’t matter if our President brags about assaulting women, uses the White House to enrich his businesses, pays off a porn star, hires his children, praises and hires white supremacists, colludes with Russia, puts children in cages, blows up the deficit, overturns the precedents and protocols that hold our fragile democracy together.
Given all this, it’s a little easier to understand why many don’t take impeachment seriously — it’s hard to get too excited about Trump simply holding U.S. aid hostage until a foreign president investigates one of his political rivals.
