Moscow Mitch

The Kentucky Democratic Party is selling tee-shirts with a picture of Mitch McConnell in a cossack hat and the caption “Moscow Mitch.”

The party has already made over $300,000 on the shirts.

Is this fair?  The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded in July that Russia targeted election systems in every one of the 50 states.  The findings, however, were so heavily redacted that even some key recommendations were blacked out.  

McConnell has personally blocked consideration of election security legislation.  It seems to me that “Moscow Mitch” fits this blowhard unpatriotic Senator very well.


Info on the Russian efforts is from David E. Sanger and Catie Edmondson, “Russians Hunted Election Defects in All 50 States,” New York Times, (July 26, 2019), pp. A1, A15.
