Rep. Pete King rips Mitch McConnell as ‘Marie Antoinette of the Senate’

Long Island GOP Rep. Pete King on Wednesday ripped Mitch McConnell as the “Marie Antoinette of the Senate” after the majority leader suggested struggling states go bankrupt amid the coronavirus crisis. King was reacting to McConnell’s comments on a radio talk show earlier in the day in which the senator dismissed the idea of more federal aid to states, claiming governors “would love to have free money.” “McConnell’s dismissive remark that States devastated by Coronavirus should go bankrupt rather than get the federal assistance they need and deserve is shameful and indefensible,” King wrote on Twitter. “To say that it is ‘free money’ to provide funds for cops, firefighters and healthcare workers makes McConnell the Marie Antoinette of the Senate.” Marie Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution, allegedly responded derisively to the news that peasants were starving, saying, “Let them eat cake.” During the appearance on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” McConnell recommended that the federal government hit the “pause button” before doling out more cash to state and local governments.
