Thread: Mitch just had a Mitch McConnell moment at the RNC

  1. #1

    Mitch just had a Mitch McConnell moment at the RNC

    [updated with longer video]

    Calls on the state of Kentucky.

    Mitch is supposed to be the speaker.

    Eternal delay follows.

    Woman next to him keeps cutting her eyes towards him like, "say something, for fk's sake."

    Starts to get booed by convention as he finally begins to speak, and rightfully so.

    I missed this, but had Fox News on at the time and rewound after reading your post. I would never have known anything happened because the "hosts" (Martha McCallum, Karl Rove, Kevin McCarthy, etc) were onscreen and chatting over it. The camera (split-screen) went to Mitch after he was already speaking and you couldn't even hear him because McCallum etc were still talking.

    Saw it happen myself on Donald Trump's youtube channel (live coverage, no commentary). Most of the videos I'm finding on X cut the delay. It was so awkward.

    I feel bad for Kentucky, but then again I don't know why they keep putting Mitchy back in office so yeah.

    This one still doesn't show the whole delay, but good audio of the booing.

    Videos are cutting out the brain-lock delay.

    Maybe. But I'm not sure that it would be a good thing if they were more competent.
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.
