Mitch McConnell At Nexus Of Increased Russian Leverage On U.S. | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
He’s called Moscow Mitch for a reason.
@D Mack 👍
@Marc Milton-Talbot Benedict Donald, the Cowardly Lyin.
Moscow Mitch is a snake. I hope the people of Kentucky know about this before they vote.
@leftinthirdgrade I moved from NY to KY, and love the state, but hate that these folks are still in the bottom of the country in most things…after 33 years of Mitch. They love Fed programs but hate the Dems – go figure….
*** Highest poverty rates (46th to 50th): Kentucky, West Virginia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi.
*** Most dependent on federal aid — i.e., “socialism” (46th to 50th): Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi.
*** Most polluted (46th to 50th): Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana.
Forget voting our FBI must arrest the traitor McConnell for espionage!
@eric oxner you need to go to writing a classes to upgrade you writing skills. You have many spelling and grammatical errors. Your overall sentiments are spot on, so I know you are intelligent and capable of critical thinking.
@Just Only John that could be applied to the entire base and not just to those from Kentucky
REPUBLICANS LOVE THERE RUSSIAN MEDELLING
Moscow Mitch being paid for his job as a Russian spy doing their job to ruin enemy country economy, government, people.
Amy McGrath for Kentucky 2020
@John Wagn I’m not living in Kentucky but she got my vote
ken878 me either Ken but I put the Amy McGrath word out to do my bit against treasonous Moscow Mitch
ken878 Once he has headed down this road, carrying water for the Russians for the favor of a business deal and the support for the Trump election and re-election, he cannot retreat from having sold his political soul. He must be opposed by a strong candidate in KY who can mobilize the the Kentucky gras roots.
Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey and Drezna Donald walk into a bar……..
Don’t forget ruski rubio
Little donnie vanished when the tab appeared. Moscow Mitch charged the bill to his Senate expense account and left a 100 ruble tip. Lindsey met a nice dock worker and spent the evening in the ladies room. Gaetz showed up later and drove them home.
🇷🇺🤡🇷🇺
I like Traitor Trump better.
…and totally destroy it from the inside out. the end.
The traitor three all must go, America! Vote them out,make America, America again.
So Kentucky is part of Russia. Since they are no longer Americans, Moscow Mitch should not be in the Senate. We should only have 98 Senators.
@Tessmage Tessera we could not give Ky away with Moscow Mitch there.
Joe Hackney Be careful of the hatred you preach. I live here in KY. I am a Democrat. There are plenty of us here who want him Gone.
Kelli Votel Amy McGrathh for Kentucky 2020
@Tessmage Tessera State has no value we would have to pay to get rid of it.
I wonder if Kentucky will change its name to Kentrusky?
Get registered to vote, verify your voter registration and VOTE.
USA has never had a fair election. They are 4th world.
USA is a right wing duopoly so it lacks basic human rights.
@Bobby Babylon You are a Russian most likely, for your information I voted for the first time since the 90s in 2016 and we turned our state blue in 2016 and it is a swing state that voted for Trump, voting works !!!
Make sure family and friends are registered to vote and they show up 2020
✌☝💜
Republicans are complicit in the Russian interference- vote them out!
Amy McGrath 2020
@The Canada First Party You conservatives keep forgetting that freedom of speech isn’t just for you, and you don’t have to take turns using it.
@The Canada First Party deflect much?
@The Canada First Party Rofl. Ajeet Pai* Is a Republican. Trump wants to take away your violent video games.
Mc Connell should to be charged by treason while he is serving the interest of Russia while heis in Senate
Keep the pressure on Moscow Mitch, he needs to gtfo!!!!
Jason Blade there’s no pressure on Moscow Mitch he’ll still be re-elected
@A.D. Thomas Sr.: Yeah right Traitor TrumPutinTard troll bot … (-;
Amy McGrath for Kentucky 2020
Putin’s strategic intentions are easier for him to achieve when the president and the Senate Majority leader have been compromised with Russian money.
Congressional members should have annual tax review. Disclosure needs to be mandatory for what companies they, their family, former married spouses or SO, and close friends or associates (before joining Congress) are involved in the duration of their career and maybe six-12 months after leaving or retiring from Congress. If legislation is not in the best interest of the public and for personal gain, it should be a felony with jail time. It seems obvious but after the Republican Party appears more compromised it’s hard not to wonder.
The entire GOP needs to be hung for Treason. Chuck and Nancy have a lot of explaining to do regarding the bipartisan obsession. Is it so that they can claim to be powerless when they are not?
Moscow Mitch. It all comes back to him. It’s blood money as far as I’m concerned.
David Lafleche How illiterate are you?
It is murder…Many have died because of it. Moscow Mitch is a Russian 🇷🇺 Asset and a Traitor of the USA 🇺🇸. The same can be said of the trump mobsters.
David Lafleche But Hillary. What a tool.
@Edward Mazur Oh, it definitely means sucker/fool/bigot in english as well
Russia has always exercised influence operations around the world though corrupt politicians and government officials. Moscow Mitch is one of the most corrupt. Getting angry yet?
Jeffy, after you change your pants and want to be a big boy you can swallow this: no country has more influence over foreign elections than the US and no country has ever interfered as much as its American administrations.
@Rob Perry That is true and yet it does absolutely nothing to undermine his point.
Been there since Merrick Garland.
Jeff Smith May McGrath for Kentucky 2020
@Crimdor Your 21 subscribers don’t mitigate TREASON!
This is why the nickname “Moscow Mitch” is appropriate. He will end his career being known as Moscow Mitch!
DON’T FORGET THE OTHER NICKNAME, CHINA COKE MITCH, FATHER-IN-LAW GOT BIG MONEY AND POWER IN CHINA????
He will not only end his career with that name but go down in the history books with that name. He will be forever associated with corruption and treason.
I hope he wins his seat as I plan to campaign for him. To each his own. I would love to see Nadler gone although I am a Democrat
Moscow Mitch put a for sale sign on that Kentucky town. Sure they’ll have jobs but now they live under the thumb of a Russian oligarch. Step out of line and next thing they know the entire town’s economy is in a chokehold. At what cost Moscow Mitch, at what cost.
speks36 for turtle food man
Moscow Mitch and his wife are crooks. Plus, his bumpkin self has got to go.
joy smith bumpkin. lol
yeah 36 years in senate is 30 too many…term limits..!!
Manafort committed treason and that is the long and short of it!
The most corrupt administration in Modern History
Review the definition of traitor…and then think on Moscow Mitch
The Russians done the same in the UK, we now have a broken UK and brexit. The greedy taking Russian money to wreck democracy.
Our prime Minster is named Boris
@Ryan Watterson ours is named Moris_______san
Moscow Mitch is a traitor to the country.
@Rob Perry Wow really scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one.
#moscowmitch is treasonous.
@Rob Perry Fool!
@Bob leroy
Bill Coverup Barr will not investigate him or his wife, simply because his job is to cover up crimes committed by Con Don Chump and members of his party.
Is there any doubt whatsoever now that McConnell completely, 100% deserves the moniker “Moscow Mitch”?
megatunnage1 Amy McGrath for Kentucky 2020
No doubt whatsoever.
