If the Libs were to insult someone from Mitch McConnell’s family, I would expect no apology, immediate or otherwise. Already, they have made ugly cutting remarks about Mitch’s wife, a Chinese woman. Many want to delegitimize her minority status, because she dares to marry a white republican. They are the ones obsessed with race status and racial separatism. Mitch has come out and boldly defended his wife from the slurs, I’ll give that much to Sir Yertle.
Nice strawman. No one said anything about insulting anyone. The context of the comment was PETA's faux condescension and condemnation regarding Trig standing on the family dog. The point being that the lily-livered GOP leadership would bend over backwards to grovel and apologize to PETA for offending their tender sensibilities.
Old turtle-neck can affect being insulted all he wants.
