At the age of 82, McConnell is ready to do something else. A pivotal politician in a tumultuous time, McConnell earned power and used it to shift the country to the right during his 17-year tenure.
We're in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War Two, McConnell told Rogers, adding, Even the slogan is the same. America First.' That was what they said in the '30s.
Warming to his historical theme, McConnell turns to one of the portraits behind him, an influential Senate Republican of the wartime era... Thank goodness Eisenhower beat him for the [presidential] nomination in '52 and had a much different view of America's role in the world.
