AOC calls out McConnell after photo shows 'Team Mitch' supporters 'groping and choking' cardboard cutout
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday night, joining many others who've taken swings at the senator over the past few days. But her criticism was for a different reason.
The handle of the person who originally shared the photo was blacked out, but the caption reads, at least in part,"break me off a piece of that." McConnell's camp told the Washington Post it does not condone the image. In a statement, McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden explained that the high school boys in the photo were not campaign staff.
