"Old Crow" McConnell Laughs Off Trump's Criticism

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is shrugging off Donald Trump’s campaign to oust him as the top Senate Republican, chuckling that he views ‘Old Crow,’ the former president’s derisive nickname for him, as a compliment,” the Washington Examiner reports.

Said McConnell: “It’s my favorite bourbon.”

He then turned to a staffer and asked: “Aren’t we using Old Crow as my moniker now? It was Henry Clay’s favorite bourbon.”

Laugh at him and turn his insults into badges of honor. I hate McConnell with the fire of a thousand suns but man I wish he was on our side.

Old Crow is awful though.

Way to go Mitch!
Just shit all over the other Kentucky bourbons. I’m sure Jim Beam’s will still give him some campaign money.

Peeking your head out of the sand to oppose traitor trump after licking his nuts for 5 years and voting not to impeach earns ZERO points. Mitch thinks Trump cost him 2 senate seats in Georgia and if someone doesn't shut him up he fears 2022 will go similarly, thats the only reason he is suddenly acting like he has a spine after years of slithering like a worm, not because he is loyal to anything or has a sense of humor.

McConnell is an evil old bastard, but cognitively he is light years sharper than the rump.
