Mitch McConnell campaign criticized for photos of tombstones with Dem names

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is facing criticism from his Democratic challenger after his campaign tweeted a photo Saturday of tombstone-shaped signs displaying her name and those of other Democrats with a death date listed as the 2020 election.




The photo was taken at a campaign event in Fancy Farm, Ky and was accompanied by the caption: "The Grim Reaper of Socialism at #FancyFarm today. #FancyFarm139."

Among the five tombstones shown were one featuring the name of McConnell's Democratic opponent, Amy McGrath, that read "R.I.P. Amy McGrath November 3, 2020."

Another displayed the name of Merrick Garland, the Supreme Court nominee of former President Barack Obama. His nomination was blocked by McConnell, leaving the seat open for President Trump to nominate a conservative justice.

"Hours after the El Paso shooting, Mitch McConnell proudly tweeted this photo. I find it so troubling that our politics have become so nasty and personal that the Senate Majority Leader thinks it's appropriate to use imagery of the death of a political opponent (me) as messaging," she tweeted in response.

He has a new hash tag nickname....massacreMitch!  Seems fitting after seeing this.

That's the same Fancy Farms outing where Dems taunted McConnell with 'Moscow Mitch' and waved little Russian flags for him.

Purposely mispronounced Amy McGrath's name as McGaffe. Guess all that dirty nasty Trump name calling has rubbed off on him.
