Sen. McConnell: 'My advice to the corporate CEOs of America is to stay out politics.'

Please try again later.

Dear Big Corporations, please start staying away from politics by refusing to give any donations to Senator McConnell. Now.

No brains

What a joke, coming from you, Moscow Mitch, king of a..wholes

Playing with fire I see.

Except when they give you money... that kind of staying in politics is fine...

Oh yeah. Just send us the money and keep quiet.

I guess they should keep their campaign donations as well. We know who will get the chunk of corporate cash for 2022.

Be careful what you wish for Mitch! Millions of businesses who support your party financially may take you at your word and stop their contributions. Remember what happened in Georgia when Trump suggested that there was no point voting because the election was already rigged?

Hey MoscowMitch ... did you forget corporation's are people too

OK, then you can begin by refusing to accept donations from businesses and corporations. If you are not willing to do that, then just shut up Mitch.

MSNBC oh oh Mitch be careful. You are playing with fire!!!

As long as they’re filling his pockets lol.

No more donations to the GOP

Just give us your money

That’s only til the Repubs need it to win races. He will hold true to that about like he did with Merrick Garland 5 years ago!

Finally a solid Republican meme

McConnell only wants corporate leaders to stay out of politics when they are critical of GOP policy... he didn’t seem to have any problem with Trump and his corporation leaders (his wife included) when they were in power.

My advice keep giving us your money but stay out of our business

Have you no shame, Senator?

My ADVICE to your OLD racist self is you need to RETIRE, u have played the system far to long. We need the peoples CHOICE in office.

He only wants their donations.

But keep sending them checks. This is a shell game Mitch McConnell and CEOS are playing

He will take their campaign donations though -what a hypocrite..!

Wow just wow so stop taking their money and giving them tax cuts based on those monies!

Customers don’t stay out of politics, ask the pillow guy. CEO’s represent customers.

McConnell has mastered the art of hypocrisy and uses the skill to destroy American democracy.

My advice to LeaderMcConnell is to stay out of politics. He has no idea what he is doing. He thinks he has the answers to everything, while I’m thinking corporations are closer to the pulse of society.

Unless it involves money... or guns. Hypocrisy pains me.

Sounds like a threat to me

Except keep sending money

Including political contributions?

Well you are in politics but you don't do anything so your advice is worthless like you.

It’s hilarious how much everyone, regardless of their political stance, want others (athletes, actors, corporations etc) to “stay out of politics” when they disagree with the statement. 😄

They purchase and exploit labor to stay rich. Their business IS politics.

All sports is about politics.. just not your politics! Boo boo

Moscow Mitch time for you to take your old butt home and let the young take over. You done list your mind

Is he not top dog anymore? A little salty?

Unless your the Koch Brothers.

LeaderMcConnell So support the bill to keep them out of politics and stop taking their money. Pretty simple steps to put ur $ where ur mouth is.

Before or after they write you a check?

Says the guy bought and paid for by Americas biggest corporations...What a joke

He means Trump, Inc.

Moscow Mitch wants CEOs to stay out of politics. He wants their money and support but not for them have an opinion. large companies have lawyers that can interpret laws, and have every right to decide how the react to a law. If GOP don’t like reaction change what you are doing

Yes they should stay out of politics by not donating to political campaigns.

Except when you are supporting our candidates. Company political action committees are the life blood of American politics.

Oh the irony /hypocrisy it really knows no bounds when it comes to Republicans

Translation= 'I don't want your opinion, I just want your money. So if you want more tax breaks, then shut up and sign that check.'

He needs to save hos advice for somebodt, anybody who cares.

I’m CEO of one of the poorest states in America

You left out the part where he said, but keep giving politicians their money

Nope. Corporations have a moral responsibility to make a stand regarding social issues. I wish u would retire buddy

He's been saying this all along....no, wait!! Lol

Stop asking corporate america to SUPPORT CANDIDATES when they want to get elected.. STOP TAKING CORPORATE CONTRIBUTIONS. HYPOCRITE

Who asked

What a whiner, wait, did I spell that right Weiner!

Until election time. Then he'll be burning up their phones for $. Such a hypocrite!

I agree, and he should start by not accepting any corporate donations. Wouldn’t that be refreshing?!

I may have to pay a little more sometimes, or do without other times, but I have for years gone out of my way to only spend money with business that are good corporate citizens. It's hard to be sure in the age of legalized monopolies but the 1 rule NO to Republican donors ever.

Well than let’s get defundGOP trending

Unless it's to support the Mitch.

HaHaRetireMcConnell

I guess he meant Only when it Benefits the Elected Officials because HISTORICALLY that's how the Government Grows otherwise the NRA would not be an Issue when it come to Gun Control etc... Who do you think you're Fooling LeaderMcConnell CNN GMA nytimes washingtonpost

Except for his donations

Maybe the corporations will understand Mitch/GOP doesn't want their donations.

Then don't accept their $$$$$$$$

just keep those donations coming and shut up!

You can't have it both ways. Give me your money but not your thoughts.

Also Mitch and rest of GOP: “My advice to Black and Latino people, stay out of politics you’re vote is not wanted by we the KKK.”

Agreed. LeaderMcConnell , how about you give back all your corporate PAC money and advance a bill to repeal CitizensUnited so we can do exactly as you wish?

Do not donate to any republicans the way to. Go

Good, no more money for political parties

Especially when it’s based on a lie

I hope they take MoscowMitch 's advice and take their money out of GOP politics. Just another dagger in the coffin of what was once a viable political party, and is now becoming the PredatorParty. GOPHypocrisy

Okay so no more money to Republicans, it will help them pay there taxes

WOW! A snapping turtle!

“Except for your donations to the GOP, please don’t stop those”

Well then, give back all of your corporate PAC donations.

PattyArquette Then maybe you shouldn’t take their money jack ass!

But please give us your money.

My advise to LeaderMcConnell - Lawyer up!

Mitch means, stay out of politics unless it benefits me, my racist rich pals & the plutocrats in charge. MoscowMitch GOP

Stay out of politics but “I’ll take your money and donations” says LeaderMcConnell

Does it seem like a strange coincidence to anyone else that, yet again, Republicans are speaking up against participation in the political process? Democracy dies in darkness. Why do they want to work in the dark?

He doesn't mind taking corporate money, but they cant exercise their First Amendment Right.

Your wish is our command. No more donations to GOP PACS or entities!

But then who’ll fund the superpacs?

“But still give me all your money.”

Agreed, no more $ to political PACs. Thank you Moscow Mitch

Money talks... Economy rocks Mitch & Elaine are corrupt Trumpies! MitchMcConnell GOPCorruptionOverCountry

McConnell is disguising a threat. The G0P view the tax cuts as a means to extortion. TCJA substantially cut corp. tax rates and allowed a flood of stock buybacks/ dividends. Now G0P expects loyalty from those who profited. Corporations are discovering how “silence is complicit”.

Lol. He knows they run politics. Hell where would any of them be without corporate lobbyists.

My advice to McConnell... look who’s talking! We’d all be better off if YOU stayed out of politics 👍

I agree, That includes campaign funding, and lobbying!! Make it so shiftymitch

'unless you agree with me'

Too late

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you

Thankful we have corporations that believe in democracy.

550,000 American Hero’s DEAD! Frump said 1/22/20 “We have it totally under control.” 2/26 “Within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.” 2/28 “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” The American People know who to blame GQP!!

My advice to the corporate CEOs of America is to quit donating to Republicans ... Why give them your shareholders $ if you can’t express your opinion on issues? GOP SenateGOP HouseGOP LeaderMcConnell GOPLeader

But please still give us your money!

Morning_Joe Oh they’ve been in it up to their necks for yrs telling the GQP how to write legislation to suit themselves

If LeaderMcConnell would do his job, corps would not have to get involved in politics. Oh wait, they are with their political donations. End those and they’ll take note.

I guess that means no more campaign contributions and buying of politicians?

A Republican saying this?

Yes, the corporations should not be giving to political campaigns. Hear that corporations? Stop feeding McConnell!!!

Then he needs to keep his hands out of their pockets when seeking donations!

Do you think the 'woke' old white MLB Commissioner, who is so upset about Georgia's racists voting restrictions, who moved the All Star game to Colorado, a 90% white state, with harsher voting restrictions, will he drop his membership at the racist white mens Augusta CC?

Great advice. Can we stop them from buying votes as well?

Except for donations of course, greedy repubs

So is McConnell suggesting that the GOP should not take corporate donations? Yeah, I thought not. Can’t have it both ways, Mitch, particularly when your definition of politics swings to the anti-democratic

Lol. 2-Way Mitch. 2WayMitch strikes again. Can’t have it both ways man.

It would be good for the country if you stayed out also, moscow mitch

House minority leader Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle...

McConnell needs to stay out of politics.

Yes I agree!Stay way out of politics and way out of his pocket!If Corperate stayed out of politics these Republicans wouldn't be bought by big money Like Mitch!!!!!

It’s funny how he thinks voting rights are politics, it’s in the damn constitution turkey neck

No one takes advice from turtles!!!

Morning_Joe Feel free to finally do something to help your Kentucky constituents instead of worrying about Georgia and Dr. Suess.

LeaderMcConnell And the snake speaks again.

Stop making contributions

Morning_Joe DEMS need to make Washington, DC a state, Puerto Rico a state, US Virgin Islands a state, and expand the Supreme Court. If not, the US is screwed. Why is it America is the only democracy (whatever the hell that means now) in which popular vote loses PRES elections?! Tired of BS

Does that mean, MitchMcConnell, that corporations should stop giving you money? You don't say anything about the culpability of the new Republicans who stormed the Capitol and you're ok with voter suppression, but if a corporation grows a conscience, you're all over it.

Why?

Odd for a man who swims in corporate money to cry about their political involvement

Investigative reporting starter kit: 1) Write down names of politicians who demand corporations stay out of politics. 2) Check same politicians' Super PACs & campaign finance reports for corporate donations. Starting with Mitch McConnell.

Why aren't most of them lining the pockets of the Republican Congress?

Morning_Joe Rich isn’t it, the same party that made corporations people!! You created the monster so deal with it MoscowMitch!

Is that only for American corporates? His wife’s Chinese family can still use their best interests to plunder America, right?

Yea, but McConnell will take their money! McConnell. is bought and paid for .

LeaderMcConnell could not agree more! Corporations should not be allowed to make political donations!

Morning_Joe LeaderMcConnell was all-in for the former president who was a corporate CEO. He was all-in on the former cabinet who were corporate CEO’s. He’s also fine with taking corporate campaign donations. But corporations should now stay out of politics? 🙄🙄🙄

Hahaaaaa

My advise it LeaderMcConnell should pass legislation to make it so.

Morning_Joe Then Citizens United can go since you obviously won’t need corporate money for your campaigns. Be careful what you say turtle!

Morning_Joe But he wants them IN politics when soliciting their $ for his agenda. If they stay out of politics, they better close their checkbooks too.

Sounds good, let us know when you stop taking corporate dollars for campaign contributions

So no corporate PACs to fund your political campaigns Yeah, right.

This clown! clownworld!

The same people that fought for “corporations are people” so that big business money can funnel to politicians and campaigns now want corporations to shut up and stay out of politics.🙄Corp. money isn’t supposed to come with support for other people. Go figure. Can’t make this up

Mitch should stay out of politics

Morning_Joe O really LeaderMcConnell ?

Morning_Joe I’d tweet something profound, but I can’t stop laughing at Mitch’s hypocrisy. I wish corporations had less political influence, too, but I actually mean it.

From the chief corporate money grubber! That’s rich!

🖕🏽old man LeaderMcConnell Change your profile picture, you're not who you want others to believe you are. Abuser

my advice to mcconnell is stay out of politics. maybe there will be one less corrupt person in congress

Morning_Joe I have this flash back to a guy who sells pillows.

Hypocrite

Morning_Joe So is LeaderMcConnell going to be sending back all that PAC money he's taken over the years? Is he now anti Citizens United? Or is he just pissed because corporations won't support voter suppression?

Morning_Joe That’s funny... by stay out of politics does McConnell mean stop giving money to the Republican Party !! 😂 LeaderMcConnell MLB CocaCola SenSchumer

So, basically, “Shut up and dribble, but keep writing us checks.”

Morning_Joe “But keep donating to my Super PAC”

LeaderMcConnell “Unless you’re going to donate $$$ to us.” GOPHypocrisy

Only when you need a donation huh Mitch

Tell mitch to get out of politics.

Morning_Joe

So kind of like My Pillow

Who's going to tell him that they tell him what to do not the the other way around?

Morning_Joe Unless they’re donating you $$$

Morning_Joe Lmao this MF here

Gee! Another GOP saying keep your mouth shut so we can do what we want? Isn’t that cancel culture? Or how about the first amendment? Go figure! The Know Nothing party grows stronger in their ignorance towards what America is and needs.

What about so called Christian evangelist? Does their tax exempt organizations belong in politics?

You mean like donald trump?

the same for trump puppets!

That's probably one of the biggest oxymoron / contradiction class two-faced statements I have heard in all of my 56 years on this Earth

He's absolutely clear: he only wants the money.

This dude’s pockets are double lined from his greed. Step back you old goober.

except give me $$$ so I can be in charge

Mitch needs to RETIRE & SHUT UP!

LeaderMcConnell should introduce a Bill that prevents corporations from donating to PACs and politicians or STFU.

He tries to act so tough. But I bet he's a huge pu$$y.

Just another example of hypocrisy. GOP just keeps taking it to another level.

Too funny. The GOP are masters of projection.

LOL until it's time for them to donate big bucks to HIM. I don't think they asked for his advice.

Except when ol LeaderMcConnell needs corporateamerica cheques!

Lol. As if “Citizens United“ never even happened. LOL.

Lol

Mitch you should stay out of politics.

Many of us have this advice to him... how about you do your damn job for once in your entire elected career. He's an absolute disgrace!

That's cute coming from the man who rakes in millions in corporate, POLITICAL donations.

Quit taking their money while you pretend to be theatning them, you can't have both sides of the coin. People are not stupid

But like not donations ?

I'm sure he means the money they donate also, right? Right?

Hmmm thats the same deal Putin made with his oligarchs! :) GQPTraitorsToDemocracy

Said the man with one of the poorest states in the nation. He’s living like a King.

Would that include the companies that give money to his campaign

Then why don't you take your own advice?

I would agree, and stop providing fundraising support for extremist policies, Republican.

And I’m sure that means he will no longer take their money.

Unless of course you want to donate obscene amounts of money to my campaign. Then I will fellate each of every one of you

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed for the GOP.

“Corporations are people, my friends.” Mitt Romney

So stop donating to Super-PACs?

My advice to corporate CEOs is to ignore all Republicans. Oh, and yes CEOs, stay out of politics, which means: STOP DONATING FREAKING MONEY TO POLITICIANS, ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sen. Mitch Moscow is a hypocrite, if CEO corporation is that they give money for political campaign and Mitch Moscow is rich with company corporate money. CEO has the right and demand as they do politics since when they are investing in politicians.

MoscowMitch Dangerous and UnAmerican LeaderMcConnell

My advice to MoscowMitch would be to stay out of American business. Wait, wait he is married to a Chinese businesswoman who is well-entrenched into US government & business. Hypocrisy Thom_Hartmann RandiRhodes

This from a man who has enriched him self from corporate coffers

So you aren’t going to ever take money from them or see their lobbyists again?

“Unless you’re donating big bucks to my campaign, in which case you won’t be sorry!💰💰💰”

Corporate world listen to McConnell. Never give him or any other Republicans money for their election.

Unless of course they want to donate to one of LeaderMcConnell PAC's.... Then feel free to speak. MITCHISAMORON

Hmmm is that his approach when donations are rolling in?

But keep donating to us...

Blahahahawablah

The hypocrisy Mitch displays is too often his toxic arrogance that's been cuddled with open arms by conservatives in American.

Keep your nose out, but keep the money coming.

Do you hear that KochIndustries ... stay out

I agree!!!! Ban corporate money and influence. Pretty sure SenWarren would be happy to work with ole Mitch on something.

Then stop taking their money too.

Dont donate to the turtle.

F that guy.

Republicans who wants Corp donations might want to stop bad mouthing them.....

And to finish his statement. But we still want your money.

Unless they’re donating money to his account

And maybe Mitch outta stay out of politics!! anotjerGopLoser

MitchDarkMoney

I agree :Never give one dime to any republicans Politicians.

Lol now he wants them to stay out... how funny... never been an issue before when they backed you loony crap!

So where do all those big corporation donations go ? Straight to The GQP .

So that means no donations to ANY politician or political party, correct Mitch? Because that would be considered being involved in politics.

Just give us the money

How about if they all return those big checks you gave them too?

Dear Mitch, Does this mean you won't be grifting them for campaign funds anymore?

The people run corporations, and without those CEO, CFO, or other corporation leaders, Politician won't get their campaign funding. Who was Donald Trump, and what did he have? Can Sen. McConnell clarify?

Shameful! LeaderMcConnell Without those who support corporate America, there would be no corporate America! Consumers have a right to choose companies who support humanity and equal treatment for all our citizens!

Sorry Mitch, corporations are people too, just ask Roberts

He wants basketball players to shut up and dribble, and he wants CEOs to shut up and write him big checks.

This dude is beyond nuts

You should get out of politics too

Time for liver lipped Mitch to go.

Unless you want to give Mitch and his fellow Republicans lots of campaign donations He's still extremely happy for you to be involved in that way

LeaderMcConnell their advice is let people vote in free and fair elections without interference from partisan legislatures. Your veiled threat wasn’t very subtle

He should... pass a law to make that a reality. It's kinda sorta his... job? Something banning corporations from donating to political parties? Making corporate - level decisions based on unrelated political issues?

So “I’ll take your money but not your advice!” Good luck with that!

And, corporate CEOs of America, keep your money out of politics

I’m confused 🤔

But keep sending money!

'... Unless they are lobbying me with political funds. '

NateluvsAmerica how many corporations donate to politician’s/PACs? 🤔

Oh but it’s ok to take their money?

That's pretty funny right there!!!!

But this dude had no problem when CEO’s takes a stand that is favorable to the GOP? What did Moscow Mitch say when the My Pillow CEO went bunkers and even financed a militarized coup?

LeaderMcConnell has been getting in bed with private companies for decades. FoH!

How about we get rid of the 2 party system all together.

I like a woman with a past and a man with a future, mouthwatering Mitch is neither.

“Stick to sports”

He’s going to be devastated when he finds out who funds his campaigns and who was on Trump’s cabinet.

Except when their lobbyists give you bunches of cash, eh LeaderMcConnell ?

MitchMcConnell can start with himself not receiving donation from the corporation, who he is asking to stay away from politics

Awww...I guess Citizens United is turning out to be a double-edged sword for the GOP? Poor snowflakes.

does that mean their BIG Donations for him and the other GOPer's TOO?

BREAKING NEWS: LeaderMcConnell supports overturning Citizens United. SenateGOP

Moscow Mitch go away for good.

Ironically, it was corporate CEOs who told McConnell to say that.

Mitch. There's nothing wrong with companies standing up for America & being activists for what is right. The most powerful companies can make a difference. He's just scared they actually will. That's too damn bad. I will only buy products from the companies that do what's right.

Oh the hypocrisy & gall of that guy.

Then do not beg then for campaign money.

*Russian aluminum companies excluded

My advice to MoscowMitch is to stay out of their business.

Laughs in campaign contributions

“BUT keep sending me donation money to my and GOP election campaigns” McConnell would say under his breath

Seriously
