McConnell Embraces ‘Cocaine Mitch’ Nickname

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is selling T-shirts branding him “Cocaine Mitch” as a fundraiser for his 2020 re-election campaign, Think Progress reports.

During his failed Senate campaign in West Virginia last year, Don Blankenship (R) attempted to tie McConnell — without any evidence — to a drug smuggling operation involving a company cargo ship owned by his wife’s family.
