I think you mean, "I hope he gets the treatment he has worked to deny to millions of other americans and then retires so we never have to see him again."
(sorry, edited that. I was letting him off way too easy. Guy is single handedly responsible for holding up basically any and all progressive legislation for thepast... 10+ years and has definitely hurt millions of people as a result.) I don't want to wish harm on anybody, but this dude sucks and needs to go away.
The good news is you DON'T need to wish harm on him in order to think he sucks and needs to go away. Yes, he sucks, but that's irrelevant to his health. Celebrating the declining health of somebody because we don't like them is a big line to cross on the path to becoming a callous ghoul. We need to be better than that.
If social media was around in the 1940's I'm fairly sure I would not have lamented the declining health of Hitler. "He's a man with a family! I'm sure he is scared and just wants to feel better."
No thanks. Mitch McConnell spent his career enriching himself and hurting others. I don't feel bad for him.
