AV Club: Please enjoy some videos of Republicans getting their shit wrecked by constituents [View all]

This week is the first recess of the 115th Congress, a time that is normally set aside for representatives to hold town halls and hear what happens to be on their constituents’ minds. This fine, unseasonably warm winter, the thing on constituents’ minds just so happens to be a howling death-rattle from the edge of the abyss, an exhortation to not buckle to the whims of a racist authoritarian regime, a primal cry that there is still time yet and they are our hope and our voice, and also fuck Donald Trump. The massive upsurge in public activism since Trump took office has resulted in record-shattering protests and financial support for progressive organizations. Urged by influential organizational tools like Indivisible and Resistance Recess, it has also led to some truly great town hall moments during this recess. Republican congresspeople are getting fucking destroyed out there.

Let’s start at the top, with a video of animatronic penis Mitch McConnell:
