McConnell: 'Over-the-top' Moscow Mitch nickname effort to 'smear' me [View all]
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday vehemently denounced political opponents who have dubbed him “Moscow Mitch,” calling the nickname an “over-the-top” effort to “smear” him.
“It’s modern-day McCarthyism,” McConnell said during a radio interview on Salem Media Group’s “Hugh Hewitt Show” when asked about the nickname he received after blocking Democrats’ efforts to pass bipartisan election security bills. “Unbelievable for a Cold Warrior like me who spent a career standing up to the Russians to be given a moniker like that.”
"You know, I can laugh about things like the 'Grim Reaper,' but calling me Moscow Mitch is over the top," the Kentucky senator added, before suggesting that Democrats would "say anything and do anything."
"This is what we’re up against with the hard left today in America," he said.
