Trump Tweets Defense of ‘Our Great Kentucky Senator’ McConnell, Rips His New Democratic Challenger

By Reed Richardson Jul 9th, 2019, 8:48 pm

President Donald Trump sent out a pair of Tweets lavishing praise on “our great Kentucky Senator” Mitch McConnell just hours after a new Democratic Senate challenger to McConnell, Amy McGrath, announced her run and drew tens of thousands of likes on Twitter.

Trump warned his followers that “Democrats are coming after” the Senate Majority Leader, who routinely touts his ability to help his state by guiding Senate legislation and who acts a steadfast Congressional backstop for Trump now that the Democrats have retaken the House majority. Trump also referenced comments by McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot, that her emotional response to Trump’s 2016 election was similar to the “the feeling I had after 9/11,” which she says many Republicans, including the president in his Tweet, have misrepresented and taken out of context.

In the first day after announcing her run, McGrath garnered AOC levels of appreciation on the president’s favorite social media platform. Her 2020 Senate run comes on the heels of her defeat in a Kentucky House race last November.

1. I just keep getting the idea

that all roads Mitch and Trump run through Prohibition Era and moonshine, but hey it's a stereotype of their mental abilities

[Maxheader]

2. Mitch the bitch and stumpy...

The senator did everything in his power to thwart obamas legistlation..Would like to use ryans "starve granny" anti federal money for food ideas and not only licks cheetoxes shoes but the kock brothers...

3. No Mitch McConnell, no Trump show.

[The Wizard]

4. McConnell and Trump

both avoided service in Vietnam. Trump with mythical bone spurs and McConnell court martialed for sodomy. Both are swimming in Russian bribes. Both are traitors.

[Hotler]

6. Regarding the sodomy......

was he giving or receiving?

[The Wizard]

11. The details were scrubbed

but the scuttlebut is he and another GI were giving each other hand relief in the shower, and both got out of going to Vietnam.

13. Any real traction to this story ?

If he was released from duty, there should be paper on that.

What does HE say about it ?

[The Wizard]

15. This is an interesting read

16. Thank you, Mr. Wizard.

No matter how you look at this, it just doesn't add up.

[Bayard]

10. Never heard the sodomy thing before....

Wow. Will have to google.

Amy will kick mitch's ass, as long as the Russians aren't allowed to get involved. She absolutely can use her military experience to her advantage. Ft. Knox, Ft. Campbell here.....lots of military. And people just plain don't like him, regardless of the bullshit lies.

5. I think they meet and and take a copy of the Constitution and just tear it up

and then Mitch tell's him its all about judges.......................watch me put these Federalist Society judges on the bench, without advise and consent and being accused of sexual assault....................and laugh all day long......................

November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough...............................

[Zorro]

7. Don't fucking apologize for your 2016 remarks

You're a Marine. Use it to your advantage.

Attack the Manchurian Cantaloupe for his bone spurs Vietnam deferment, and ask the question "Why was Mitch McConnell dismissed from the military after only a few days at boot camp"?

Trump wants to convince us his counterfeit patriotism is a virtue. Let him know the USA is not a nation of cowards and bullies.

8. McGrath's brilliant campaign ad is obvioisly having an effect. (nt)

[Thekaspervote]

9. Even if we do not win the senate in 2020 it would be a real blow to the gopee if turtle looses

And it would put the rest of them on notice!!
