McConnell taps Rubio as acting chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee (Hey, at least it wasn't Romney) Need any further proof that mcconnel is deep state?  The link is to an axios story and I ain't sending them any more traffic. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Monday that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will serve as the acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee while a federal investigation into Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) is ongoing. This is not dark to light in any way, shape or form. MAGA
