Mitch McConnell Endures 5-Minute Heckling During Speech: ‘Retire' and ‘Ditch Mitch' Chants Overpower the Senator's Address (VIDEO)
2023-08-07
[Gateway] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was interrupted and heckled for five straight minutes during his speech in his home state at the St. Jerome Fancy Farm Picnic on Saturday, a premier political event in Kentucky.

Instead of a respectful silence, the audience delivered a relentless, clear, and loud message for a full five minutes, drowning out his speech.

Foot-stomping and chants echoed around the venue, making it abundantly clear that the senator’s reception was far from warm in his home state. He is done.

The dissenting voices underscore the sentiment that McConnell, at 81 years old and with nearly four decades of senatorial service, is more of a representative of Washington’s political ’Swamp’ than the average American he’s supposed to represent.

Chants of "RETIRE" and "DITCH MITCH" overwhelmed his address, causing a scene of utter humiliation for the long-serving senator.

Mitch McConnell is the definition of the swamp.

#9  If Mitch is deeply into corruption on the national and international level, why would he be easy to remove on the state level? In Arizona, the McCain people still control the GOP apparatus.

#7  Maybe these "constituents" should have determined that he wouldn't "do the right thing, at the appropriate time" before they serially voted for him.

#4  I believe that Mitch has negotiated to handpick his successors in the Senate and in Senate leadership. Thune is the designated lackey for the Minority Leader cape to my understanding. Thune does act like Mitch’s proxy from what I can see. Thune probably has the votes and is undoubtedly pre-approved by all the interests that control Mitch. I would like to see Mitch gone, but that will only continue the process of mucking the legislative stall. It will not immediately resolve the corruption.

#3  That's great stuff!
Kentucky is odd to me. The state that has brought us Rand Paul and Thomas Massie has also brought us this piece of donkey dung named McConnell. Bugger off, old man!

#2  Seems about 25% of some GOP voters are concerned that he may have shared some of the Secret docs.
He is in a pickle if true.
