Today In Moscow Mitch

Yesterday, Putin's other asset in Washington, malevolent Moscow Mitch McConnell, was at the traditional St. Jerome's Catholic Church picnic in Fancy Farm, KY.  While lobbing some stale zingers about "communists," the New Green Deal and Medicare for All, the lame traitor was serenaded with chants of "Moscow Mitch":

In his first public appearance of the August recess, Mitch McConnell was greeted by loud chants of #MoscowMitch that drowned out his speech. It infuriated him. Buying Say Nyet to #MoscowMitch merch would make him even more mad: https://t.co/4H4YvzArbK pic.twitter.com/F9vX3Rv6LB

The Democratic candidate for Treasurer, Michael Bowman, had some pretty choice zingers that likely pierced Moscow Mitch's turtle shell:

It was a little dangerous getting on the stage today because I nearly tripped over the leash that the Russians put on Mitch McConnell.

and, after Moscow Mitch turtled off, 

I see that the senator is no longer here.  I’m sure the Russians needed him more than we did. Probably to teach him new tricks. I wouldn’t know what, he already knows how to roll over.

Moscow Mitch's likely opponent, Amy McGrath, opted not to attend the picnic.  Moscow Mitch probably wishes he hadn't, too.

BONUS:  The schadenfreude is overwhelming us.  "Thoughts and prayers!"
