McConnell pulls rival Rick Scott off powerful Commerce Committee

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has pulled Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who tried to oust him as the Senate’s top Republican in a bruising leadership race, off the powerful Commerce Committee.

McConnell also removed Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who supported Scott’s bid to replace McConnell as leader, from the Commerce panel, which has broad jurisdiction over a swath of federal agencies.

The GOP leader insisted last year that he didn’t take the attempt to end his leadership reign personally, but the latest move sends a clear message to conservatives that challenging McConnell’s leadership carries a cost.

Apparently ole Mitch holds a grudge.

Nah, McConnell's not holding a grudge in the least. Just doesn't mind taking his temper out on the rest of the country, 'cuz he doesn't like that two real pro's on the Commerce Committee tried doing what was BEST for the country.

From the OP article:

Scott said he learned of the decision in a text message.

How white of him.

This vote still blows my mind.

McConnell insisted in November that he didn’t have any hard feelings left over after Scott challenged him in an acrimonious race, which McConnell eventually won by a vote of 37 to 10, with one senator voting present.

Then again, I never did investigate who those 37 are.

McConnell has got to go.

Yes. Problem is, strange, nasty things happen to those who try to make that happen.
