Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday vehemently denounced political opponents who have dubbed him Moscow Mitch, calling the nickname an over-the-top effort to smear him.
Its modern-day McCarthyism, McConnell said during a radio interview on Salem Media Groups Hugh Hewitt Show when asked about the nickname he received after blocking Democrats efforts to pass bipartisan election security bills. Unbelievable for a Cold Warrior like me who spent a career standing up to the Russians to be given a moniker like that.
"You know, I can laugh about things like the 'Grim Reaper,' but calling me Moscow Mitch is over the top," the Kentucky senator added, before suggesting that Democrats would "say anything and do anything."
"This is what were up against with the hard left today in America," he said.

If he doesn't care for Moscow Mitch, we can switch to Massacre Mitch.

(4,459 posts)... that a self proclaimed cold warrior like yourself would sell out your country for a few dollars, Moscow mitch mctool. Is this nickname hitting a little too close to home? And you do realize that the more you whine about it, the more it has legs, right? Keep it up, asshole.
