Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell actually has mocked and made money off of one hashtag targeting him: #CocaineMitch. He's not going to be able to make light of the new one that's trending: #MoscowMitch.
While it's personally very painful for me to do this, the credit for this now-trending tag goes to Joe Scarborough. On Morning Joe Friday morning, he railed against McConnell's blockade of legislation to secure the 2020 election from foreign interference—namely, Russian interference.
"He is aiding and abetting Putin's ongoing attempts to subvert U.S. democracy, according to the Republican FBI, CIA, DNI…," Scarborough completely truthfully said. "All Republicans are saying Russia is trying to subvert U.S. democracy and Moscow Mitch won't even let the Senate take a vote on it. That is un-American."
Yes. It is.
"How can Moscow Mitch so willingly turn a blind eye not only this year to what his Republican chairman of the Intel Committee is saying, to what Robert Mueller is saying, to what the FBI director is saying, to what the DNI [director of national intelligence] is saying, to what the CIA is saying, to what the United States military intel community is saying," Scarborough asked. "How can Moscow Mitch keep denying that Vladimir Putin continues to try to subvert American democracy?"
In fact, McConnell isn't just turning a blind eye to all that; he's calling it "a conspiracy theory about President Trump and Russia." He's going full-on Trumper.
That—and the fact that he is almost single-handedly remaking the federal judiciary in his own image—makes him possibly even more dangerous to the nation's future than Trump.
