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. pic.twitter.com/2x5kO5jwPi

If I were advising McGrath I’d say that any tweet that mentions Mitch without calling him “Moscow Mitch” is a missed opportunity. That nickname clearly gets under his skin, so we should keep using it.

Vilest, scum sucking semi-human on the planet.
I can’t even articulate my rage at this mother fucker.

Calling him #moscowmitch would take away from the weight of the threat. She phrased it perfectly.
And he’s a terrible person.

@geg6: I object! To the use of “human” of any degree when applied to Moscow Mitch.

I was wondering when/ifPBO and Michelle would issue a statement. After seeing BC and HRC issued statements, I figured it was coming.
Here is is…statement from PBO/Michelle!

That said, you’re absolutely right he hates the name, and the rest of us should be using #Moscowmitch at every opportunity.

Person waking up from 50-year coma: Is the Republican party still a pile of shit?
Me: Let me show you some campaign ads and materials from the past 2 years.

@lamh36: That’s how a President does it.
McConnell is filth. Decent people should spit on him.

Seeing Moscow Mitch’s retweets made me react the way Charlie Brown used to react to so many things: GAAAAAGH!

This photo of Mitch McConnell supporters manhandling a cardboard AOC has been popular today too.

Clearly doing this to show he 1. doesn’t give a shit and 2. there’s nothing anyone can do about it. We have to beat this guy. Trump’s an insane asshole. Mitch is pure evil. He knows how to destroy America and loves every fucking minute of it.

Question for my fellow olds. Was he always like this? I don’t seem to recall him being so, well, radical in the past.
