McConnell Incensed with ‘Moscow Mitch’ Nickname

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “is usually impervious to criticism, even celebrating the nasty nicknames that have been bestowed on him by critics,” the New York Times reports.

“But Mr. McConnell is incensed with his new moniker, ‘Moscow Mitch,’ and even more miffed that he has been called a ‘Russian asset’ by critics who accuse him of single-handedly blocking stronger election security measures after Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.”
