"SNIP......


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell complained about the nickname “Moscow Mitch” during a radio interview, calling it “modern day McCarthyism.” On The Hugh Hewitt Show show Tuesday, the Kentucky Republican said it was “unbelievable for a Cold Warrior like me who spent a career standing up to the Russians to be given a moniker like that.” McConnell said he “can laugh about things like the Grim Reaper, but calling me Moscow Mitch is over the top.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called McConnell “Moscow Mitch” in August for his inaction on legislation for election security and gun restrictions. “This is what we’re up against with the hard left today in America,” McConnell complained in the interview.

1. Whatever, Mitch...Some of Your Behavior as Majority Leader Has Been "Over the Top."

4. LOL. "The Hugh Hewitt Show"

Hugh Hewitt is another hard right-wing hate radio jock. He's a regular guest on Scott Simon's "Weekend Edition" on NPR where they can both spew their hateful and intolerant venom for all of Simon's listeners to "enjoy."

If Moscow Mitch hadn't turned the senate into trump's duma, he'd be viewed more favorably. But, like trump, he's just another russian asset that has infested our government.

5. Moscow Mitch need not complain

All he needs to do is ACT, supporting legislation that safeguards elections against interference from foreign adversaries. Blocking legislation favored by 80% of voters will not do it.

6. So what you're saying is it's working, Moscow Mitch?

Hits a nerve?
