New York Daily News Taunts Mitch McConnell's Devotion To Donald Trump With Lap Dog Cover

The New York Daily News on Thursday portrayed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as a dog on former President Donald Trump, a response to the Kentucky Republican’s opposition to a bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The cover depicted McConnell as “TRUMP’S LI’L MITCH,” and a subheadline read: “Lapdog pol protects Don from riot probe.” Trump was impeached over his role in inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The House voted Wednesday to set up a commission on the Jan. 6 insurrection, potentially setting up a clash in the Senate.




It’s not the first time the New York tabloid has transformed McConnell into an animal on its front page.
