This will sting a bit but he has zero grounds for complaint - from the Lexington, KY Herald-Leader:
No CPAC invitation for Mitch McConnell. ‘Next year would be a better year.’
Mitch McConnell, the Senate’s Republican leader, has not been invited to this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, two sources familiar with the event’s organizing tell McClatchy.
The annual conference, set to kick off this Thursday in Orlando and run through Sunday, will feature speeches by former President Donald Trump, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and more than a half a dozen senators.
But McConnell wasn’t granted an invitation when CPAC organizers began compiling their roster for the four-day gathering last fall. An organizer said the decision was not directly tied to McConnell’s rebukes of Trump in recent weeks in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“Leader McConnell did a great job confirming judges, and we know he will be a strong supporter of restoring appropriate election laws. Next year would be a better year for him to address the improvements to election laws once the states have time to act,” said Dan Schneider, executive director of the American Conservative Union, which puts on the event.
Yeeeaahhhhh - "not directly tied to" Believe that and I have a bridge in downtown Manhattan that you might be interested in buying. McConnell revealed himself for what he has always been. Now we know. Santa has him on the "naughty" list.
