Why do they call him Cocaine Mitch?
Why do you think?>
well, without duck duck going it, i would just assume he did coke. but his face doesn't LOOK like he does coke so it was like cognitive dissonance.
Know your meme pede.
On April 30th, 2018, Don Blankenship, a U.S. senate primary candidate, released a campaign advertisement in which he says, "One of my goals as U.S. senator will be to ditch 'Cocaine Mitch.'" The advertisement referenced a 2014 article in The Nation magazine reporting that 40 kilograms of cocaine were found on a cargo ship owned by the family of McConnell's wife.
On May 3rd, 2018, the Vimeo account for Don Blankenship for U.S. Senate uploaded a campaign ad. The video features Blankenship accusing Mitch McConnell of receiving money from his "China family" and having McConnell's "China people" run attack ads against Blankenship. He also refers to West Virginians as "West Virginia People" and McConnell as "Cocaine Mitch."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is moving steadfastly to confirm as many judges as possible to federal courts before the end of the year.
Following the confirmation of Supreme Court Judge Amy Comey Barret, since the election on Nov. 3, the Senate has confirmed 6 federal district court judges.
Before Election Day, McConnell had expressed willingness to push the confirmation of federal court judges. He told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Oct. 30 that they are going to push the confirmations until the end of the year.
“Well, we’re going to run through the tape. We go through the end of the year, and so does the President. We’re going to fill the 7th Circuit. And I’m hoping we have time to fill the 1st Circuit as well,” McConnell said. “And we are, by the way, confirming a district judge as soon as we get back after the election, and we’re going to clean the plate, clean all the district judges off as well.”
The Senate has confirmed Benjamin Beaton, Toby Crouse, Kristi Johnson, Kathryn Mizelle, Stephen Vaden, and Aileen Cannon as federal district judges.
McConnell is planning to confirm 2 appellate court judges to fill the vacancy of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, which was left open by Judge Barrett ascending to the Supreme Court, and the vacancy of deceased Judge Juan R. Torruella on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit.
President Donald Trump has nominated Thomas L. Kirsch II for the 7th circuit and federal judge Raúl M. Arias-Marxuach for the 1st circuit. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing last Wednesday for Kirsch.
I wish he spent as much energy ramming thru these Federalist judges as he does in trying to keep the senate in Trumps control. He needs to get these GOP cucks in line and start supporting the president so our GEOTUS can go Ham the next 4 years. Swamp runs deep and is full of cucks.

It's his gift. Go turtle go!
Don’t know whether I should love or despise the turtle. I guess it depends on how fast the cocaine makes him move.
Cocaine Mitch's record on judicial appointments is his only redeeming value in the past four years.
No, he's much better. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/475346-democratic-senators-tweet-photos-of-pile-of-house-passed-bills-dead-on-mitch

He's killed literally hundreds upon hundreds of far-left communist bills by Crazy nancy and the squad.
He's Cocaine Mitch
He's Moscow Mitch
He's Midnight Mitch
He's Massacre Mitch
He's the Grim Reaper
He's The Turtle
He also is responsible for luring Harry Reid into striking the supermajority (Harry Reid was sick of his slow rolling and thought Dems would have control of the Senate forever) and then Cocaine Mitch took over with the new rules and that's why he's crushing it with the judicial nominations. Dude's a badass despite being swampy.
Hey, I see it all the time but don't know anything about how he came to be called cocain mitch. Anybody willing to explain? Thanks.
Thanks pede. It's a mystery to me how someone with his exuberant charm and charisma didn't win. Makes Mitch look animated.
