Love it! The recipients know that the GOP thugs never supported them.

[Blue Owl]

1. McWomp McWomp....

[ffr]

59. 😅

Be like traiting traitors. No handshakes for accomplices.

LOVE IT!

[LakeArenal]

2. Wow. Just wow!!!!

[CatWoman]

13. i can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!

Mitch standing there with his hand held out and left hanging.

FEEL THE BURN!!!

[KS Toronado]

28. First thing I noticed also

With his hand held out like that Moscow Mitch was begging to be the center of attention.
Bet FQX news will never air this clip!

[Wednesdays]

40. They might show the clip, amid a lot of pearl clutching

"Oh, how RUDE they are to not shake hands with our glorious leaders. They've fallen for the WOKE agenda!"

[KS Toronado]

50. Oh, you might be right

They've got twisting the truth into knots to fit their narrative. Wonder how they'll tie it to our
"open southern border"?

[lambchopp59]

60. The "open" border where Trump finished his great wall?

Uncertain where the landmine field Fox Noise has laid for itself ends...

[Sky Jewels]

52. "The Left makes everything political!"

[2naSalit]

54. I like the way several of them...

Looked those bastards right in the eye as they walked past them!

[Pacifist Patriot]

57. Loved that touch!!!

[2naSalit]

58. I would have done the same...

Only I would have used the hairy eyeball.

[Pacifist Patriot]

63. Same

[hibbing]

32. Me too, just literally lol at work!

On edit: Just watched it about another 20 times and when they are all done walking past M and M, the look on the Speaker's face is priceless, well that's that! haha

Peace

[ChazInAz]

33. icy cold burn!

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Beautiful! McConnell and McCarthy standing there with hands outstretched and

being passed by like a dirty shirt.

[gratuitous]

6. One guy even shook his head

Noped right on by Mitch and Kevin.

[Jack from Charlotte]

39. Before The Republic Party scum got up to speak I was hoping the policemen and women..

would have gotten up and walked out. Then returned for the presentations, etc.... But watching that Republic Party garbage standing their with their hands out was.......nice.

[DENVERPOPS]

71. They should have stood up

and enmasse turned their backs to them until they were through....

[MyOwnPeace]

4. That is BEYOND fantastic!!!!!

Moscow Mitch just standing there with his dic - er, hand hanging out - and NOBODY wanting ANYTHING to do with either!

[ShazzieB]

62. I cackled at the video

And I cackled again, reading this post!

[MyOwnPeace]

69. It is GOOD to laugh at Moscow Mitch.....

because it will keep you from going 'postal' for all of the damage that he has done to our country.......

[Deuxcents]

5. I can't believe they had the nerve to give a speech

No handshake.. the best gesture possible

[kwijybo]

72. The best legal one: spitting might be considered assault

EOM

[riversedge]

7. whow. the no shake to the Repugs is very telling. And the world sees it now.

[Irish_Dem]

8. The GOP set them up and left them to die.

The GOP is always surprised when people don't like being totally expendable and pawns.

[ShazzieB]

65. The GOP threw those cops to the wolves, and the cops damned well know it!

The question is, are McCoco and McCaca stupid enough to think the cops DON'T know the Repubs were willing to let them die that day?

They looked awfully surprised at the handshake snub. Maybe they somehow really didn't realize the cops were fully aware of their betrayal. If so, they ought to know NOW.

[Irish_Dem]

67. Yes the GOP thinks people are stupid and gullible.

The GOP can kill Americans with impunity.

[UTUSN]

9. They get another medal. From me.

[Marthe48]

45. Me too!

That was heroic. Symbolism means a lot

[Diamond_Dog]

10. I'm surprised those two were even there.

I love it.

[Rebl2]

20. Same here

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. Moscow Mitch and Kremlin Kevin have orange taint on their hands and faces.

[ShazzieB]

66. And they are both redolent of Trump stank.

I wouldn't shake their hands either.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Repurposed image but tells the story. That was a thing of beauty!!!!

[GoCubsGo]

14. Can't say I blame them.

If it were me, I'd shake their hand--but not before I spit on it.

[Cracklin Charlie]

15. Must watch!

[republianmushroom]

16. LIKE IT

[jaxexpat]

17. Everybody knows bad bakers never get a handshake, never!

Their dough is always overbaked and underproved.

[Samrob]

18. WOW!!! Stunning display of contempt! I love it! nt

[twodogsbarking]

19. A swift kick to the groin would not be appropriate.

This takes the place.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Good backhanded way to make the point. +1. . . . nt

[smb]

21. They Didn't Want To Get Any Slime On Their Hands nt

[bottomofthehill]

23. Brian Sicknicks family

Brian was a Trump voter who gave his life in defense of the Constitution and protecting Democracy. It did not matter to him once the election was over his oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution against all enemies Foreign and Domestic kicked in. His family chose not to acknowledge those who did not stand up for their son/brother after his death. It is their right to shake, not shake whatever. Their loved one was murdered by a crowd at the direction of Donald Trump.

[onetexan]

24. SNUB!! It looked like a group effort not to shake their handstoo

[pandr32]

25. GOP leadership expect the decorum that goes with their office

...yet they don't deserve one iota of it.

[infullview]

26. How embarrassing for McTurtle

[fierywoman]

27. Holy shit!

[MineralMan]

29. Boom! Those two shouldn't even have been there,

much less make a speech. Disgusting, and now they got shunned by the recipients, as they should have been.

[ShazzieB]

68. They had the unmitigated gall to make speeches?

How revolting.

[MineralMan]

73. They did. I caught part of one of them on MSNBC

as I passed through the living room. I just shook my head at the hypocrisy.

[packman]

30. Damn, that made my day, my week, my month

[Carlitos Brigante]

31. That video needs some additional sound to go with it:

[HAB911]

34. a thing of beauty

Kevin's face is priceless

[Carlitos Brigante]

35. I'd say he looks confused. But then again, that's his standard look. nt

[ificandream]

36. Moscow Mitch looks like he's going to cry ... :)

[calimary]

37. I noticed.

Loved watching Mitch with his hand out ready to shake hands - and those honorees just passed him by. Eventually, he pulled his hand back in.

I would not want to shake hands with a Jan 6th sympathizer/excuse-maker either. I stand with those first responders. A few of THEIR colleagues lost their lives that day, and rather brutally, too. And NO. We DON’T just “forgive and forget”. Not in this case. Not this time.

[Cheezoholic]

48. They only took the medals from Pelosi and Schumer also

Left the traitors holding their disgrace

[erronis]

38. For those of us who refuse to use the musk platform:

46. Thank you for the link. I did try to find it on You Tube, but no luck. n/t

[LittleGirl]

41. Thank you! That's worthy of a bookmark

Excellent. I love that clip.

That made 2022 worth it.

[Cheezoholic]

42. Video clip of the year right there man n/t

[ZonkerHarris]

43. Those two scumbnags had some nerve showing up for this. Moscow Mitch and The Trump suckup

[Joinfortmill]

44. Damn right!

[Marthe48]

47. A stark reminder that elected officials serve the public

Not the other way around. And elected officials don't support treason and sedition, not unless they're traitors.

[malaise]

49. Good

rec

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

51. I would have taken their hand, pulled them toward me and punched them in the face

Or at least be tempted to.

[Jakes Progress]

53. Honorable and Brave. somehitn mitch and kevin will never understand.

[Hekate]

55. The cut direct. Impressive.

[Evolve Dammit]

56. Good. They deserve nothing.

[Tribetime]

61. If I could recommend this one million times it would not be enough

What the f*** did they think would happen

[bdamomma]

64. I saw

that tonight on the news, loved every minute of it. Would not shake McConnell or McCarthy hands, I would have done the same thing.

[Faux pas]

70. Priceless

and wonderful and PERFECT
