I'm honestly a little torn on this because I generally love The Onion and hate Mitch McConnell, but poking fun at what very likely could be a medical issue seems kind of low.
Knowing that if I have a similar medical issue in the future, McConnell will have directly contributed to my inability to afford treatment for it, making fun of it is no big deal in comparison.
I can understand that. We tend to dehumanize our political villains. I did a double take when I saw it the first time and this would scare me if it happened to my parents.
The empathy was short lived, though. The man has caused suffering and used his position to damage the lives of people I love. He will rot in hell, but I’m getting a little kick out of him rotting while he’s still alive and I wish him a painful and humiliating end to his life if it is at all possible.
