Mitch McConnell 'has blood on his hands' from coronavirus response, Democrat says

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2020/03/17/coronavirus-bill-mcconnell-has-blood-his-hands-candidate-says/5069134002/

<snip>
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's would-be Democratic challengers are raising the stakes amid the coronavirus pandemic, with one saying the Kentucky Republican's actions leave "blood on his hands."

Mike Broihier, a farmer and retired Marine, makes the claim in a blistering two-minute digital advertisement released on Tuesday.

Broihier argues McConnell knew President Donald Trump was unfit for office in 2016 but supported the New York real estate mogul anyway to appoint "far-right judges" and pass "massive corporate tax cuts" for his wealthy campaign donors.

"Because of Mitch, more people will die," Broihier says in the ad. "More Kentuckians will die. Mitch has blood on his hands."

And they need to keep driving that home again and again and again and again!!!!!!!!

He should rot in hell for what he did to PRESIDENT OBAMA and his Supreme Court nominee - but then again, he should rot in hell for what that action has done to all of us!

McConnell has always been a slime ball and he has worked very hard to get all his slime ball friends in our government - including his wifey who is head of Transportation Dept. She works diligently to help McConnell get his favorite bills passed - whether good or bad.

McTurtle doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself. This may not go so well for him. It may result in some very unexpected "outcomes" for him and his family. If one has no empathy, one certainly won't receive any.

Why, almost as uncivil as running campaign ads against him during this time of crisis?

Reminder: If Mitch and Mrs. Moscow are seen dining in public, it is your duty as an American to cough on them. (Additional action at personal discretion.)
