Chris Matthews: 'Bugs Bunny' McConnell 'always gets away with' wrongdoing (Huh?)
The Hill ^ | 01 22 2020 | Joe Concha

MSNBC's Chris Matthews referred to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as "Bugs Bunny" during the network's live coverage of the Senate impeachment trial.

The "Hardball" host said the Kentucky senator "always gets away" with something he did wrong.

“If the Bugs Bunny, I call him, of this business, the clever Mitch McConnell, who is so much a Bugs Bunny character, he always gets away with it," Matthews said. "And we know he got away with something that he did wrong, just like Bugs Bunny.”

The Senate early Wednesday morning approved a rules resolution for the impeachment trial that largely echoes the rules McConnell had hoped to set.

It prevents Democrats from calling new witnesses or offering new documents for evidence. Democrats will get a chance to have the Senate vote to consider witnesses again after the impeachment managers and President Trump's impeachment team offer their arguments.

Matthews has referred to McConnell as the iconic cartoon character before, including on Jan. 14 when discussing impeachment trial rules.

"But sometimes, he is Bugs Bunny, you know. He's not Elmer Fudd sometimes. He knows what he's doing," Matthews, a former speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, said.

Chrissie is so disrespectful.

McConnell is NOT Bugs Bunny.

He’s “The Turtle.”

“Chris Matthews: ‘Bugs Bunny’ McConnell ‘always gets away with’ wrongdoing (Huh?)”

So Chris Matthews does cocaine.

Otherwise, he would have used the well known slur instead.

POSchith must have caused another tingle in Chris’ leg. He must be wearing a catheter and bag with as much water as he drinks and keeps saying the same thing over and over assumed and implied stuff with no evidence just look like it could be. When will NoNads get to talk again?

"And we know he got away with something that he did wrong."

OK, I give up. What did Bugs Bunny do wrong that he got away with?

If McConnell is Bugs Bunny, is Adam Shiff Elmer Fudd?

Wrong cartoon! McConnel is the Roadrunner and the Dems = Wile E Coyote. Same as it ever was.

Chris Matthews, always an astute observer of the passing political scene. Next thing you know, Chris will be recommending Qessam Soleimani for the Nobel Peace Price (no, NOT a typo), for the fearless defense of the right to drive US soldiers from the battlefields all over the Middle East.
