In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, and in the wake of Lindsey Graham’s passing, Rick wonders why US Senator Mitch McConnell has been absent for so long. Today’s guest, the host of ‘America Now’ Ben Swann takes things a step further, questioning why McConnell is still an active senator. Both agree that someone doesn’t want to give Thomas Massie a chance to take over for McConnell, as the former has been a thorn in the side of neocons for more than decade.
Ben and Rick also marvel at how Trump has completely pivoted from an America-first stance to supporting two wars at once, policies that don’t bode well for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. Watch the whole episode here on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.
