So this was at the bottom of the article where McConnell weighs in “this is why congress shouldn’t run for 5 weeks straight, things get weird.” Wtf, what about everyone else in the world that works 52 weeks straight. Just another example of how out of touch some representatives are.

I'm surprised he didn't say 2 weeks with all of his long pause time jumps.

He didn't say "two weeks", but it might have taken him two weeks to say it.
