The Senate Majority Leader is clearly annoyed. Appearing on a conservative radio program Sen. Mitch McConnell thinks his new nickname, Moscow Mitch, is over the top. From The Week:

“On Tuesday, McConnell appeared on The Hugh Hewitt Show, and said it’s not fair that he’s been dubbed Moscow Mitch, calling it “modern-day McCarthyism.” He got the name in July, after he blocked election security bills that had bipartisan support. The move came right after more warnings were made public about Russia attempting to interfere in the 2020 elections. “Unbelievable for a Cold Warrior like me who spent a career standing up to the Russians to be given a moniker like that,” McConnell said.“

Meanwhile, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough went off on McConnell this morning saying via Mediaite:

“You look at this guy’s legacy, and it’s going to be two things, I think right now, he’s going to have a legacy of basically doing the work of Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB agent” Scarborough noted.

“He later added “But Mitch McConnell just like Moscow Mitch won’t do anything in protecting us from foreign enemies, he has been the one person that has killed every one of these bills to protect us from our domestic enemies, that are gunning down our children every day. What’s his end game? What’s his legacy? Where does it end? ”
