The current Leader of the United States Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has done deeds that people want to sing about.
♫MOSCOW, MOSCOW MAN! MITCH WANTS TO BE A MOSCOW MAN!
In 2016, Mitch McConnell refused to sign a bipartisan letter that the Russians were interfering in the presidential election. The President of the United States, the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Ranking Member of the House were all reportedly on board with a joint letter calling out the Russians for their interference. But not Mitch McConnell. See Jennifer Rubin, McConnell Owes the Country a Fuller Explanation on Russian Meddling, Washington Post online February 20, 2018.

In recent years, most recently in 2019, Mitch McConnell has refused even to allow a vote in the Senate on election security legislation that enjoys overwhelming support in the Senate as well as in the House. If you can't vote on it, it doesn't have a chance to become law. Period.

A previous article posted here called attention to Mitch McConnell's involvement in a Russian aluminum factory to be located in Kentucky. The article raised some hard questions that to this day have not been answered. See MITCH McCONNELL SAYS 'JUST A COINCIDENCE' AFTER RUSSIAN SANCTIONS REMOVED, posted May 17, 2019.
Other articles have recently begun to ask the same and similar questions about Mitch McConnell and Russian investment in an aluminum factory that the Russians made a deal to put in Kentucky. See, e.g., Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman, How a McConnell-Backed Effort to Lift Russian Sanctions Boosted a Kentucky Project, Washington Post online August 14, 2019.
