Sen. Mitch McConnell Has Hurt Feelings Over Backlash From His Black Voter Comments

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is offended. No, it’s not because of his constant goalpost moving when it comes to the filibuster or opposition to letting voting rights legislation pass–it’s because people are mad at him about his comments about Black voters. Well, the Senate minority leader couldn’t bear the thought that anybody could think that he could initially separate African-American voters into a different category.

According to the Associated Press, McConnell claims that his comments were mischaracterized:

“This outrageous mischaracterization of my record as a result of leaving one word out inadvertently the other day ... is deeply offensive,” he said during a press conference in Louisville Friday.

“I’ve never been accused of this sort of thing before. It’s hurtful and offensive, and I think some of the critics know it’s totally nonsense,” McConnell said Friday.

If it makes you has a sad to be called what your words AND actions paint you as, my suggestion is two-fold:
1) deal with it you pig or 2) find a high platform, step off of the platform and tell gravity how hurtful you feel.

Otherwise, you worthless human fecal matter stuffed into a poorly fitting meat suit, kindly fuck right off and die.

I fixed it for him by adding that one word:

"Well, the concern is misplaced," McConnell replied. "Because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Real Americans."
