Link: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/mcconnell-retires-my-work-destroying
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky announced his retirement on Thursday, declaring, My work destroying this country is done.
Stating, I want to spend more time rolling back progress for my family, the senator told reporters, I retire with my head held high, knowing that I am leaving the country in smoldering ruins.
From torpedoing gun laws to boosting sexual assailants onto the Supreme Court, I have been tireless in my effort to make this land unfit for human habitation, he said.
McConnell marked the solemn occasion with a minute-long moment of silence in the middle of a sentence. According to experts, McConnells retirement means that Rand Paul will become the worst person in Kentucky.
