  1. Is he leaving the senate as well.

  2. McConnell is as responsible as Trump for the destruction of the GOP and for the erosion of rights and freedoms that we currently face. Good riddance!

  3. Thank god this B is stepping down. He done too much damage to the country!!!

  4. Good now go fade off in the sunset

  5. He should have moved on during the last president. Its wild how old this man is and is leading the decision making for ppl that are not even born. There should be age limit for congress

  6. He sounds unwell. Hopefully he’ll spend time with family & let his mind rest with less responsibility. With that said Term limits should be enforced for all branches of government.

  7. No, not at the end of the year, now!

  8. He has the damage done already

  9. Year's late and millions of dollars short!

  10. An embarrassment to the great commonwealth of Kentucky.

  11. I have never heard one single person say they like Mitch McConnell

  12. Thank god. Another trump flunky gone!

  13. Takes a big man to know when to quit

  14. His legacy is packing the supreme court with far right lunatic judges & not impeaching the Orange Orangutan when he was handed the chance…. TWICE!

  15. Good riddens Turtle. He doesn’t love the Senate. He loves the money he made on his deals with China and taxpayers hard earned money. Sad.

  16. As you should have retired 40 years ago

  17. Let the door hit you on your way out. Pathetic and immoral

  18. 3:30 Moscow Mitch and the Federalist Society destroyed the Supreme Court and allowed MAGA to grow.
    Won't miss him. He's helping to take away women's rights.

  19. Senators should get voted in, there’s no way we should allow someone corrupt to be apart of our justice system for so long

  20. Maybe he'll drop unlive first.😊

  21. I'm on the toilet, giving birth to a Democrat.

  22. 12 years old👉🛀…..🏃‍♂️👈Biden🤫

  23. No more Chinese easy money

  24. Like rats leaving a sinking ship! Lindsay is next mark my words

  25. This lizard demon has the unmitigated gall to stand there and quote scriptures😮. Baby, thou shall not! 😂Our Heavenly Father, we ask that you use thy mighty finger to pluck this raisined booger into oblivion. Amen 🙏🏾 😂

  26. 😅It's better late than never and after his sister in-law drowned In a pond 15 days ago he stepped down interesting

  27. He'll be dead within a year.

  28. May God have mercy on you sir. Thanks for nothing

  29. Not what I was hoping for. Only leaving the Senate all together would please me. I’ve grown weary of your clickbait titles. Good day.

  30. I'm surprised he didn't freeze up in the middle of his speech.

  31. Term limits and age limits now!
    No more geriatric career corrupt politicians like McConnell, Biden, Pelosi, schumer, Graham.

  32. Only 82? Seems like he's 90+

  33. Comments are being censored by NBC here. My comment wasn’t posted.

  34. Biden needs to do the same

  35. Well good bye! Watch out door closing!

  36. His time was up long ago.

  37. TERMLIMITSTERMLIMITSTERMLIMITS WILL STOP MOST OF THE BULLSHITBULLSHITBULLSHIT

  38. Does he think he’ll make it that long?
