Protesters interrupted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as he spoke during a political picnic on Saturday with chants of “Moscow Mitch.”

The nickname, which was popularized last month after McConnell blocked another set of election security bills, has followed McConnell recently after a Washington Post columnist called the senator a “Russian asset” and “Moscow Mitch” trended on Twitter.

McConnell was apparently unfazed by the protestors Saturday during his speech at the St. Jerome Catholic Church’s annual political picnic in Fancy Farm, Ky., according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

“I’m going to spend as much time talking about [Democrats] as Kentuckians will voting for them this November — none,” McConnell said.

7. When did he break his shoulder, before or after church?

He needs to bring gun control bills to the floor. He is RESPONSIBLE for these shootings as much as the fucking moron. The bill are written and MITCH loves the NRA $$$ too much to save American lives.

Maybe some of Putin's pals "persuaded" him to keep those gun control bills blocked.

14. Murderer Moscow Mitch doesn't need Putin's input.

He is evil and psycho enough on his own. They are two peas in a pod.
