1. He must have been married before

Interesting. Because he and Chou have no children

[Blue_true]

4. He was. I think he may have essentially walked away from his family. nt

[RhodeIslandOne]

6. I would believe any woman with common sense would walk away from him!

Except of course a Republican stooge like Elaine Chao.

[llmart]

14. You mean the one who picked her nails at McCain's funeral...

and then fell asleep? That's the best ole' Turtle no-chin McConnell could get.

[still_one]

13. republican values

2. It's easy to be anti-mitch.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Right?

[madinmaryland]

3. The thought of turtleman conceiving children just made

me get really queasy.

🤢

[lunatica]

9. I can't even!

[madinmaryland]

[Loryn]

[Lonestarblue]

26. I want to hurl just thinking about it!

His kids are probably enlightened because they were raised by their mother. McConnell could only pass along information on how to screw people.

[calimary]

39. I do NOT wanna go there.

[mainer]

5. And his ex-wife supports Elizabeth Warren!

She's a feminist scholar who divorced him in 1980. She was director of Women's History at Smith College and lives in Massachusetts.

It's amazing she was ever married to the turtle.

[RhodeIslandOne]

7. Holy shit

How does a relationship like that happen?

It explains how Mitch hates women. She must have embarrassed him in every political debate they could possibly have.

[llmart]

15. Good for her!

Glad she gave him the boot.

[JI7]

21. he marched for civil rights so i can see how they might have met

even when he marched for civil rights he probably wasn't a liberal.

but i wonder if he was as bad as he is now.

[Blue_playwright]

31. He did?

Damn that is a psych eval I’d like to sit in on.

[calimary]

41. Welcome to DU, Blue_playwright!

No kidding. I can't even stand to listen to him. Knowing the theft and fraud he committed, the gloating he's doing now, makes me wonder if there is any justice to be had.

I think that's what bothers me the most about this whole sordid era. There are no consequences. It seems like one long endless get-away-with-it derby. I wonder what will be left after this is over.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Her name is Sherrill Redmon.

[OhNo-Really]

40. Can we trade the word feminist (so last century) for "enlightened"

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. Wow, seriously. How...?

I would really like stories from old roommates and lovers (*choke*) on the scumbag. Was he always conniving and gleeful in his ugly games??? He can’t possibly have ever been an actual human.

[LisaM]

8. How does he look his kids in the eye?

I remember hearing about his unlikely first marriage before...

[dawg day]

10. All over the country, young people are rejecting their parents' Trumpism

It's sad to think that for the parents, adoring Trump matters more to them than loving their children.

[Norbert]

11. In this case I'm glad the apples fall far from the tree.

[helpisontheway]

16. Guarantee I would not have a relationship with that man..He is not just a Republican..

He is pure evil..

[ffr]

17. See that all the time in red states. The older generation just turns for the worse

while the younger generation thinks openly.

[JI7]

20. in this case their mother(mitchs ex wife) is a huge liberal

[JI7]

18. his first ex wife is a liberal. i wonder how they got married

but i can understand why they didn't last.

[MountCleaners]

19. This is why the Trumpists made a huge mistake with Kavanaugh

I don't know who they're directing their misogyny to, but many Republicans have liberal family members - especially daughters - in addition to having sexual assault survivors in their family. He offended his own daughter with his attitude. They must have been talking to a hard-core base where liberal / Dem family members are excommunicated. Which ought to be nowhere near a majority.

23. Harry Reid slept with his first wife and that is when the feud started.

"WASHINGTON—In a stunning disclosure this week, congressional sources revealed that the acrimonious gridlock in the U.S. Senate traces its origins to a single November evening in 1986, when Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) engaged in sexual intercourse with Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) then-wife, Sherrill."

"It's been the elephant in the room for decades, and frankly, neither senator is willing to just man up and bury the hatchet," Binder added. "Unfortunately, our democracy continues to suffer the consequences."

"Congressional insiders, who confirmed they were glad to finally have all the tension out in the open, said the rift began when the newly elected Reid met McConnell's wife at a Capitol Hill cocktail party shortly after the 1986 midterms, an encounter that eventually led the pair to a rented room at the Watergate Hotel for an intimate midnight rendezvous."

[Maggiemayhem]

28. The source is the onion

[BigmanPigman]

29. I know!

I googled Mitch and saw that and had a good laugh. I needed it.

[Honeycombe8]

25. One of Dick Cheney's daughters is gay. I think she's married, too. And in politics...I think.

At at time when the Bush admin. was not pro-gay-marriage.

[MineralMan]

27. I wonder who their real biological father is.

Not Mitch, I'm certain.

[kag]

35. Can't be. They're far too attractive.

Of course, according to The Onion (upthread) it could be Harry Reid.

Their mom must be amazing. Her kids are vastly better looking and WAAAAYYYY smarter than their father.

[rurallib]

32. he'll probably get back at them in the will

it's the republican way.

[Mendocino]

33. His family

crawled out of the shell.

[PA Democrat]

38. Oh no! His family is part of the MOB!!

[jimlup]

43. God I wonder what Thanksgiving is like in that family!

Yikes!

[BeckyDem]

44. omg this is too great for words. lol
