'You can't drain the swamp until you get rid of the guy who built it, and that's Mitch McConnell,' Amy McGrath tells ABC News.

"The Supreme Court nominee that he just rammed through is all about health care," McGrath said."He couldn't take away the Affordable Care Act legislatively for a decade and now he's trying to do it in court."

McConnell, meanwhile, has touted the Barrett nomination as one of his most significant accomplishments in his time serving in the Senate. He's called Barrett a"sterling" nominee and celebrated the Senate's accomplishments at a press stop earlier this week. The confirmation gives conservatives a 6-3 advantage on the nation's highest court.

Despite her opposition to Barrett's installation on the court, McGrath told Davis that she's not interested in the proposal from some progressives to add additional justices to the court if Democrats win the White House and Senate next week.

You must win and get the corruption mitch mcconnell, trump and the republicans have created in American government!!!! Vote Biden and BLUE!!!!

Obama built the swamp, ISIS, didn’t do anything fir the black community! He is corrupt just like the rest of the Democrat party.

tomcolicchio I would love to see him unseated, but let’s be real. The good citizens of KY believe the same things he does. Disgusting.

Last day to listen and/or see Amy again.

I don't understand why everyone hates Mitch... He's the globalist type of leader that the good people of Kentucky deserve to have since, for some reason, they keep voting for him...

Good luck, Amy! You and CCP Joe are best buds.

McConnell needs to resign and give us new 😏🤔blood📦 in the senate. VoteInPerson VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Truer words were never spoken, but you're gonna need a Howitzer to take out that putrid old dragon. Wish I lived in KY only so I could vote for you against that SOB, but I donated again! MoscowMitchMcTraitor

Agreed. Good luck Tuesday.

Kentucky drains Billions of Fed aid, more than any other state and contributes the least. Mitch owns the faucet. Kentucky voters will not give the faucet to McGrath. They should, but they will not. Shame on them.

Whitney_Mic Swamp thing in a suit

Denise62523907 I don't even live in KY and I want AmyMcGrathKY to win there so bad--I've got my Derby Pie, Hot Brown and Four Roses ready to celebrate her victory!

All career politicians are a problem on both sides.

So she must be voting Trump because she is talking Biden here 47 years of getting rich. Come on lady who do you think you are kidding?

Mitch McConnell, THE SWAMP personified.

JTWeaver6 Amy is correct. Mitch has been Majority Speaker of the Senate for 10 years & is sitting on over 500 bills to benefit Americans. He refused to unite with Obama at every turn.He has helped Trump at every Corrupt move. Mitch & 22 other GOP Senators are up for Re-election, VOTE OUT.

Never vote for a democrat or listen to them

230,000 deaths and climbing. Trump lied. People died. Draft dodger. Tax dodger. TRUTH DODGER. Super Spreader. VOTE HIM OUT! 751,000 more file jobless claims this week. Don’t live in a cocoon of falsehoods. Trump is a Fear Monger. GDP NOT back to pre-pandemic levels.

Best Accent: Jeffrey from MA!NSFW Language Trump couldn't lead his way out of a frickin wet paper bag. He should get the frick off Twitter all he does is watch the goddamn news, why don't youdoyourfrickinjob instead of whiningandcomplaining abouteverything?

Sooo True!

Hard to imagine, but the only candidate worse than McConnell is McGrath herself. She used hyperbole (otherwise known as a lie) in claiming that American deaths from the Chinese virus (210K) is more than the combined KIAs of W.W. II, Korea, etc. combined.

Go girl!!!

Even if she loses the race, as long as Democrats win the senate, it’s the end for Moscow Mitch

Please Kentucky, vote this lady in. Remove the fossil that is Mitch McConnell. DitchMitch2020 MitchMustGo

tomcolicchio You can't mention Mitch without Biden. That's a fact!

Gwendolyn679 MitchMustGo MoscowMitch

Kentucky Please Vote our Mitch

Democrats and Joe Biden built the biggest swamp despite being people's party. Wall Street is hoping for a Biden win so they can go back to the cushy deals with China, while selling out American interests.

But Joe Biden is a 47 year member of that swamp.

Mitch McConnell need to go . He is not a politician as he has his own agenda which America does not need . Frankly I’m sick of him. Kentucky be smart

Vote for Amy McGrath - US Senate - Kentucky. She will be a great Senator.

They all should be voted out, McConnell Pelosi Schumer Cruz the whole lot of them are dishonest crooks. And we should get rid of the main stream press at the same time. Pathetic that we have to put up with all this incompetence

Removing the first letter (M) from Mitch and putting in a (B).

Your lies and malicious phony journalism undercuts our constitution The hammer of justice and profound consequences will ensue on a day and an hour you will not expect but richly deserve Does this sound like justice?

If Amy Coney Barrett Had Any Integrity, She Would Not Have Accepted The SCOTUS AppointmentI cannot help but to question Justice Barrett’s ability to act as a neutral arbiter of the law.
