Senate Minority Leader (and “before” model for chin enhancement surgery) Mitch McConnell has finally come out of his shell to condemn Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comparison of facemask requirements during the coronavirus pandemic to Nazis forcing Jews to wear the Star of David on their clothing.

The Washington Post reports McConnell’s belated denunciation of Greene’s comment came with a caveat that he can do nothing to discipline her because she is a member of the House, not the Senate.

“Well, she doesn’t serve in the Senate. But this is one of the frequent outbursts that are absolutely outrageous and reprehensible,” McConnell told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon. “But any punishment, I assume, would have to be administered by the House.”

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who himself issued a statement distancing himself and the GOP caucus from Greene’s disgusting statement just Tuesday morning, also five days later, would not commit to having the Republican caucus take any action against Greene, a wannabe social media celebrity/performance artist with a lot of free time on her hands because she has no committee assignments.

“I can tell you as the proud husband of an Asian American that we’ve addressed hate crimes against Asian Americans, and now we’re seeing an outburst of antisemitism in our own country,” said McConnell, who is married to former transportation secretary Elaine Chao. “I mean, we’re accustomed to seeing this around the world, but not in our own country.”

Along with 61 other House Republicans and Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, Greene voted against the Asian American hate crimes bill, COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act.
