Whether they were killed in an Israeli airstrike, as Hamas claims, is frankly irrelevant.
There was never any justification whatsoever for kidnapping kids in the first place.

But ultimately history will judge him as the guy who refused to convict Trump after Jan 6th in the Senate and allow him to run for president again.
Mitch McConnell is almost uniquely attentive to his legacy among U.S. senators, and his votes against Patel, Gabbard, Hegseth and (presumably) RFK can be read as his understanding that history will regard those picks extraordinarily poorly.
