I agree with (possibly) none of McConnell's policies and I'll never forgive him for the un-American things he did as senate majority leader. I certainly don't care for him but that it is quite sad to see him like this. I hope he can make a graceful exit from politics and live the rest of his years in peace.

I have no empathy for people who lack it themselves.

I agree it is sad but also when he was well, if he'd seen someone else in the condition he's in now and had the choice to either cure them or make $1 for himself that he didn't even need, I'm 100% convinced he'd have walked away a dollar richer.

Probably more because he would've also rifled their pockets.

He literally wrote in his own book that he's the villain.

He deserves no peace.
