From The Hidden History of Burma:
The bill passed overwhelmingly in both houses of Congress. Senator
Mitch McConnell, the primary sponsor of the bill, said, “We must never tire in the pursuit of justice in long-suffering Burma until Suu Kyi is free and the struggle for freedom is won.” Senator McConnell, later Senate Majority Leader, was a diehard fan of Aung San Suu Kyi; on his office wall hung a framed letter she had sent the year before, thanking him for
his support.
Weird to hear about McConnell being enthusiastic about anything. To be fair, everyone outside of Burma made Aung San Suu Kyi a messiah. Just surprised he liked anything at all. He just seems to be 100% filled with a distant hate.
