Observing the headline, “Cocaine Mitch...” Where does that tagline come from” I have never known Mitch to be associated with any drugs, nor as a heavy drinker. From all I have ever heard, he is a straight shooter.

His father in law owned a cargo ship in which a whole bunch of cocaine was seized on it. A Republican political opponent nicknamed him “Cocaine Mitch” and it stuck. It’s not a pejorative. I think his campaign actually sold Cocaine Mitch t-shirts for awhile...lol.

Or I should say, it has nothing to do with Mitch taking drugs.

It had something to do with his father in law.
