That would be … Mitch McConnell?
McConnell objects to Democrats’ plans to change filibuster rules to pass democracy/election legislation. “Make no mistake about it, this is genuine radicalism,” he says. “They want to turn the Senate into the House. They want to make it easy to fundamentally change the country.”
Mitch McConnell: “Why would any legislature in America want to overturn the counting of votes? … The notion that some state legislature would be crazy enough to say to their own voters—’We’re not gonna honor the outcome of an election’—is ridiculous.”

Totally cool to refuse to hold hearing or a vote on a Supreme Court Justice in the Democratic president’s final term yet rush one through in the final days of a Republican’s term, though. Nothing “radical” about that. And, needless to say, he had no compunction about changing the filibuster rules for Supreme Court judges in order to facilitate his racialism.
McConnell could hardly suppress his belly laugh as he said that I’m sure. It may be the most absurd thing he’s ever said.
