Hours after El Paso shooting, Mitch McConnell tweeted photo of a graveyard with name of his opponent

[Bayard]

Mitch McConnell has had a rough weekend. First up, he made a rare public appearance in his home state of Kentucky, where his speech was drowned out by people fed up with Moscow Mitch.
Next, he had a fall at his home and fractured his shoulder. But it wasn’t just his shoulder and speech that took a pummeling over the weekend. He’s also taking heat for sending out a tweet with a photo of a graveyard. The graveyard markers have the names of Moscow Mitch’s opponents, including former Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland and current McConnell Senate opponent Amy McGrath, a veteran Marine fighter pilot who spent 20 years defending this country in a combat role. McGrath noted how grossly inappropriate it was for McConnell to send such a message, especially at a time when the nation mourns dozens more killed in multiple mass shootings.

Some of the other names on the graveyard markers include Kentucky Attorney General Alison Lundergan Grimes (who ran against him in 2014), the Green New Deal (because he intends to kill any effort to combat climate change), and socialism (which is ironic given Kentucky takes $2.61 from the federal government for every $1 they put into federal coffers).

The sooner Mitch McConnell is away from our government, the better this entire nation will be. Then and only then can we make progress.

Amy McGrath's response:
Hours after the El Paso shooting, Mitch McConnell proudly tweeted this photo. I find it so troubling that our politics have become so nasty and personal that the Senate Majority Leader thinks it's appropriate to use imagery of the death of a political opponent (me) as messaging.

UPDATE: Mitch McConnell’s team of bros shared a photo of themselves choking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.


The disgust level knows no bounds.

1. There is no low they won't stoop to.

4. K&R! Is Moscow Mitch trying to induce right-wing terrorists to kill his rivals?

8. Trump has been trying to incite violence since his election.

And it worked - it started in Charlottesville and now it's hit hard with the events of the last week. Where does it end?

2. Merrick Garland is also named on one of the tombstones.

I can't read the other two.

5. Green New Deal and Alison Lundergan Grimes
