McConnell demands 'civility' after suggesting his political opponent should die

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called for "civility" on Monday after his reelection campaign publicly mused about the death of one of his rivals.

McConnell told Kentucky residents in a speech that America has a "behavioral problem" adding, "People are acting out and it's not, I don't think, limited to one ideological place or another. You've just got a lot of people engaging in bad behavior."

Americans have to "learn how to behave better, how to be able to disagree without anger," he said.

McConnell's comments come in stark contrast to his own words and actions.

In August, McConnell's campaign suggested that Democrat Amy McGrath, who is running against him for his Senate seat in 2020, would be buried by the self-described "Grim Reaper of socialism." The campaign posted an image — which is still online — of McGrath's name on a headstone, accompanied with other failed political campaigns.

The stunt was done just hours after the deadly mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
