In Repetitious Rant, Scarborough Trashes McConnell as 'Moscow Mitch
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/26/2019 8:35:31 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough should keep a lookout for a thank-you card from Mitch McConnell. Because the last time someone tried to hang an unflattering moniker on the Senate Majority Leader, it flopped so badly that Mitch actually fundraised off it!

Readers will remember Don Blankenship, failed candidate for a Senate seat from West Virginia, bizarrely attempting to brand McConnell "Cocaine Mitch." McConnell had fun with it, selling lots of Cocaine Mitch T-shirts. And when Blankenship got blown out in his primary, McConnell tweeted "thanks for playing" in response, accompanied by a photo of himself that our eagle-eyed Curtis Houck noted was photoshopped from the Netflix series Narcos.

So "Cocaine Mitch" was a huge bust, you should excuse the expression. But that didn't stop Joe Scarborough, on today's Morning Joe, from attempting to brand McConnell "Moscow Mitch."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Nice try, Joe, but branding McConnell “Moscow Mitch” will fail just like “Cocaine Mitch” did.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Everyone I don’t like is Hitler.
Everyone I don’t like is a Russian stooge.

He thinks he can successfully ‘brand’ folks, the way PDJT does.

That’s funny.

Given the Russia hoax has been disproven, I wonder how these guys can do this with a straight face?

It’s pretty bizarre. But it is a matter of faith among the libs that Republicans are somehow under the sway of Russians.

Very strange.

During Obama’s tryst with Putin Joe was a fluffer.

This is the Uniparty’s way of getting Bush League Republicans re-elected.

But.... but.... wait... I thought the Dems LOVED the Soviet Union back in the day!!!!

Oh. Never mind... I just remembered... the Russians aren’t Communists anymore.

That explains it.

Joe is a big fan of Ted Kennedy who actually did collude with the Russians to defeat Ronald Reagan.

Morning Shmo is one of the more loathsome individuals on MSDNC. And that’s saying a lot.

Poor Joe... he’s never been the same since Mika locked up his “jewels” in the lockbox.

From February 1917 till Tuesday November 8, 2016 there wasn’t a Commie the Democrats didn’t love.

Here's what I'm tweeting to the #MoscowMitch NPCs on Twitter:

"Mitch McConnell readies 19 district court picks for confirmation next week"

Joe knows Mitch will deliver more Supreme Court Judges... that makes Joe lose control of himself. Trump’s going to have a historic legacy - so will Mitch.

And Joe? He’ll be known as the hysteric on the losing side...

Scarborough is so nuts and angry all the time. He looks like the kind of guy who could snap and do awful things. Hmmm....
