Psaki: McConnell Shifted from Reformer to Trump Enabler for Money and Power
- Psaki says McConnell supported campaign finance reform in the 1970s but later opened politics to special interest money
- McConnell once defended the Voting Rights Act but later blocked attempts to rebuild it after the Supreme Court gutted it
- Psaki argues McConnell realized opposing finance reform brought more money and suppressing votes helped Republicans
- McConnell stonewalled Obama's Supreme Court pick and saw Trump as means to fill courts with conservatives
- Psaki says McConnell leaves a "diminished" legacy and will support Trump despite denouncing him
