Actually I am American I was just mistaken about the role Mitch McConnell played in the government I just know that he stepped down and this guy stepped back on, so I assumed this was Mitch McConnell's successor. Obviously that was an error on my part

McConnell didn't step down from anything.

I thought he was forced out because he had..... dementia

We should only be so lucky.

That would be the correct decision, yes.

You're confusing Mitch McConnell for Kevin McCarthy.

Yeah we got a little bit of a McDouble going on there

How do you confuse "Congressman" and, or "Representative" plus "speaker of the house" with "Senator" or "Senate Majority Leader"....?

I might have been smoking that pack.

Happens to me all the time; I've been white-guy blind for 10 years now. They all blend together to form the same pasty pink settler monstrosity in my head.
