Mitch McConnell vows to be the 'Grim Reaper' who will kill what he labels as socialist legislation, including Green New Deal and Medicare For All measures advocated by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and 'nutcases running around on the fringe'

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed Monday to be the"Grim Reaper" who will kill what he labeled socialist legislation, including the Green New Deal and Medicare For All measures advocated by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and"nutcases running around on the fringe."

Speaking at an event in Owensboro, Kentucky, McConnell, who is up for re-election, told his constituents that as Senate majority leader he is uniquely positioned to block socialist policies that he warned many on the left wing of the Democratic Party are pushing. "We are having a legitimate debate about the virtues of socialism and I don't want you to think it's just a 28-year-old congresswoman from New York. This is much broader than that.

....MR MCCONNELL...WHEN YOU DANCE WITH THE DEVIL... YOU BECOME 'ONE' !!!! ....THERE IS A 'SPECIAL' PLACE IN HELL....FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU !!!!

Talk about nutcases on the fringe- he’s the poster child for that!

Imagine aspiring to be Death. Imagine aspiring to rob people of health, education, safety, dignity. Imagine being the shrunken soul of senatemajldr Imagine being his family.

I guess you could say he is threatening a 'Koch Block'

Wow, it's as if OAC was tailor-made and sent down straight from Central Casting, specifically for this repackaging of his tried and true nullification and obstruction strategies. Still saving the world from the darkies. Just this time they're commies.

What a tool.

I hope he meets the grim reaper real soon

So he's officially coming out as his nefarious alter ego super villain identity.

The real reaper can't come for that asshat soon enough.

Talk about projection. McConnell is a stain on our country.

The Grim Reaper will be holding the door open for Mitch McConnell. The door on the far right, it will lead him down to his destination.

That’s the job of the Senate: temper the passions (i.e. crazy stuff) coming out of the House. It would work even better if we repealed the 17th Amendment.

He's getting pretty old, he he. Mitch and the Grim Reaper are probably on a first name basis. ⚰️

Oh, so he's going to destroy his entire legislative agenda? He did say 'nutcases on the fringe' and he's a nutcase on the fringe.

'Here Here'

Smartiecats Hopefully senatemajldr will be ousted in 2020! RepublicansForImpeachment

He needs to be fired!!!!

Damn i can’t wait for the real grim reaper to take his ass

He needs to be ousted finally. He's done enough

Right wing nutcases like McConnell.

Yeah, if he can wake himself up and come out of secret room! Scaredy-cat!

Evil white man...

senatemajldr if you’ll be remembered in history it will be as a toady for a corrupt president, try and be a man Mitch!!!!

We stan king Mitch 👑

Hey Kentucky, this is the best you have? He has ripped you off!! Time to send McConnell to Shady Pines. How does a guy whose salary is $140,000 end up in 6 years with 24 million? You know how? Lobbyists pay him off to pass their agendas that hurt people!!

Awesome.

He's a nutcase on a different fringe, operating his little scam in full defiance of the will of the people

When President Warren assumes the WH, she will kick his ass out,..

Mitch is a weasel

Hahahahaha cocaine Mitch!!!!

Dear Sen.McConnell, it's quite clear you serve your own interest instead of those you represent.

Nothing will get passed anyway if Trump is elected. So what's the threat?

Glad he is being literal now. Proud to support legislation (or lack there of) that will result in the deaths of Americans.

Please Kentucky vote out this relic of the 1940s!!! We have faith In you Kentucky!!!!

He rather lines his pockets with nra money instead of healthcare for Americans. Yes that is logic!

Don't be messin about with Cocaine Mitch

KARMA, MITCH!!!! KARMA...!!!!!!

Good 🙏🏽

Good.

So, he is good for something

He already looks dead so I believe it.

Watch this

Good stuff by cocaine Mitch.

I have comments about the Grim Reaper and this guy but they aren't super polite or lady like.

Well well well, we need to end Mitch and his office appointment

Mitch needs to remember he isn’t God. And at his age, with his misdeeds, he shouldn’t speak too loudly about the Grim Reaper.

So if a majority of voters vote in elected representatives on these playforms this tool will block them. Tyranny of the minority.

Grim Reaper Mitch. An absolute legend. Let’s gooooo

It took some time but I fixed this for you.

You’ve gotta’ go. 2020 will not be a very good year for you!! I once had great respect for you and your ideals! Alas, they have changed. Remember your great grandchildren will need clean air to breathe, too, unless you’ll leave them a pod to live in, with air filtration etc.

Lol Cortez is a nutcase, fact.

In Kentucky McConnell has poisoned our fields, polluted our air and turned our water toxic. So yes he is the grim reaper.

Good for Mitch...

... a 200 years old guy, that is not going to be alive when Climate Change hits the US and that has Health services, says that he doesn't care about new ideas. wow!

Sweet!

this is the problem with the current american political parties. politicians see no problem killing bills for the sake of pettiness. if a bill is beneficial to the community why kill it just because your “opponents” created it

Do not care if you are Rep or Dem, all should support anyone who pledges to continue to promote democracy, our free enterprise system and reject destructive socialism practices.

I’m against snitch-tagging but I would be lying if I said I’d be mad if somehow ‘d the real Grim Reaper about this.

Apt description of himself...

The green deal IS socialism. And completely unrealistic

Good Socialism's success is that it is a repeated proven failure.

Has there ever been anyone so out of touch?

Man I wish I could vote for that guy!

The grim turtle and enemy of the people. Protecting all the rich old cronies to the end. Sacrificing the good of all for the wealthy.

I can’t wait for the Grim Reaper to electorally pay Mitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP a visit.

Finally a republican with balls! Go get ‘em cocaine Mitch!!! PLEASE!

Absolute chad

This guy has really grown on me the last couple of years.

Umm wait a minute! I thought he was the grim reaper!!

look at it, more skin than neck,

Fantastic news

Reap, Grim, Reap!

Cool.

Maybe we will get lucky and the grim reaper will visit you first

The “Grim Reaper” would, indeed, fight Medicare for All.

Good. Go get'em Mitch. maga

He looks more like the Grim Reaper is out to get him! Seriously, I’ve had it with this dirty pool player. He doesn’t care about this country. He cares about parties. And he has demonstrated this for years. I cannot believe the GOP will continue to back this swamp creature.

Well, he certainly looks the part.

Even though he relies on socialism to make his paycheck...go figure.

be nice if the real Grim Reaper paid him a visit before that happened.

Mitch McConnell is a fossile. He needs to understand that we must be open to new options and ideas of providing fair and good quality of life to ALL americans. That’s his job. If he can’t do it, ge then must step aside. No choice...

Expire already

One man should not wield so much power

That’s awesome,

Someone should put this dinosaur to pasture.

VOTE HIS ASS OUT IN 2020

Mitch needs to find another job.

Mean While Ditch Mitch is in the Corner quiet!...all I have to do is make it to 2020 & Me & My wife will retire with $1 Billion Dollars!

This guy has been in power to long,we certainly need to take a look at term limits because this is proof positive that there's a case for it.

i am the grim reaper protesting british petroleum & fossil fuels - washington dc

Get out and get some fresh minds in. How do Americans keep voting these destructive dinosaurs in?

Go Mitch Go!! We are counting on you!!!

How you going to pledge to be something you already is you've been the Grim Reaper the minute you was born

I wonder how aware the average American is of just how much control Mitch McConnell alone has over the government. He controls the Senate, which obstructs Congress, which eeks out favorable verdicts for disgraced conservatives (judges and presidents). What an autocrat.

This summer... Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Grim Reaper.. 4 Ninja Turtles & a Turtle - coming to a theatre near you

Please let one of the outside investigations have his name in one or all of them.

It's time to send the old grim reaper to the the political boneyard!

He is the head nut!

It’s not socialism it’s humanism it’s going to be the agenda for next 100 years. This old fart has got to go. He’s not the future trump is a clear and present danger to the democracy and the experiment known as the 🇺🇸 USA.

The Grim Reaper is coming for Turtle Man’s 2020 bid for re-election.

'When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.' -Maya Angelou. GrimReaper

That’s why he has to be voted OUT! He doesn’t care about America, only does tRUMP’s bidding!

Dream on

You are an embarrassment to our government. You are not here for our/ your country. For a man that I admired you have become a man I despise.

Mitch's time is up. He's a creep who has NO INTEREST in Americans, our healthcare, or livelihoods, or environment. He's no leader, that's for damn sure. senatemajldr

Someone has to.

Time for you to retire

SOCIALISTS ARE NUTS

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank God

Only Nutcases on the hill have GOP in their titles. Biggest one is in the WH.

mcConnell has made so much money from the Russian oligarchs that he really doesn't care about anyone but mcConnell.

~ on brand.

Russian grim reaper

He looks like he sees the Grim Reaper at his age.

Vote him out 2020

I can't wait until you get out of office I want you gone and will be ever so happy when the people of your say no more to your bullcrap

Good. Glad to hear he has a backbone

Back to the home now Mitchell, who let you out?

Go get em.

Heaven forbid we save the planet and ourselves. How nutcase fringe of us.

Thank you. Ken*uckey

Thank you Mitch McConnell!

Good, the democrats are nuts,

we're getting rid of Mitch.

Perhaps it is time to adopt some socialist ideas to improve the health, welfare, and life of all US citizens.

He is admitting to be one instrument used to disseminate democracy. And is proud to be the one.

We will see Turtle man.

Be quiet, clown

People of KY, vote this parasite of Gov’t out of office. He is holding our country back.

Mitchell McConnell is a nutcase running around on the fringe!

I really hope he's doing the Trumpian thing of projecting onto other people his knowledge of his own impending demise.

This is a good thing

I WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAMPAIGN OF WHOEVER RUNS AGAINST MCCONNELL NEXT YEAR. DitchMitch

Why does senatemajldr hate America?

VOTE HIM OUT!! 2020.

It is really really really rich to see this crap about Ky., when the geniuses from California and New York send the nutj

Mitch needs to go...he’s a dinosaur! votemitch oldwhitedinosaur termlimits beenintherewaytoolong

Well then cloak up, Miatch.

I see, matters concerning the environment and the desire to help those who may be less fortunate with their health is 'evil socialism' and it must be squashed before it gets out of hand and the US becomes a civilized nation?

WINNING

Yah McConnell!

Nutcases on the fringe are questioning how a turtle got into the news cycle.

Please Kentucky. Please

Good.

Vote that corrupt plutocrat out. Then let him finish his days in retirement dealing with a top marginal rate at least 70%.

Cocaine Mitch!!

All he did was put the GreenNewDeal up for a bote so Every democrat HAD to go on the record with their support What's wrong with that?

Misquote he said ,'I don't want you to think this is a couple of nutcases running around the fringe.'

Well, there you go. Its about time

Well, maybe he should avoid Grim Reaper references. He is pretty old.

Love it! senatemajldr is absolutely correct! Awesome

I am not a fan of AOC but mcconnell is an even bigger nut job

Soon he will be gone! senatemajldr

This guy has to go. He has broken our democracy. Who is running against him? I feel we all need to donate

The only nut cases I see are McConnel,Trump, oh heck etc. etc.

You're the corrupt nutcase!

Well done. The joke of free stuff for everyone has gone on long enough. Green new Deal. Not one person voted yes.

Well he’s as close to The Grim Reaper as some of us imagined..

Obstructionist in Chief during Obama years, The Has Been Reality TV Donny, has Cockroach Mitch, update to a zazzy 'Grim Reaper' Just ALL Theater now.

He is the biggest threat to democracy we have

YAYYYY!!!! GO MITCH!🇺🇸👏🏼

In other words holding the dopes, who are happy to blow all the middle class earnings, at bay for as long as possible

I’d be careful lobbing that title around at his age- we can only hope he gets a visit DirtNap

I can’t wait to not visit his grave

I wish Bitch McConnell would meet the real grim reaper and we would never see his Turkey neck again

DitchMitch

The Sri Lanka bombings is the biggest world wide story, and what is CNN TV talking about? Bashing Trump like they do every day,24/7? Why is CNN still in business? CNN is TOO cheap to send reporters over to SRI Lanka to cover that Huge Story? Unreal,jmo

This man needs to be gone!

Me: we need term limits for all politicians Fellow liberal: but that means Democrats won’t be able to stay in office either Me: I don’t give a shit.

ODB!!!

Mitch needs to listen to the citizens

So more cockblocking and getting nothing done.

It’s time for this old man to go. Actually, it’s long past time. We need people who are willing to work for the FUTURE of this country, not keep it stuck in the past.

33% favorablilty in Kentucky..hope it sticks. Embarrassing GOP leader..

Yet he allows Trump’s fascism government to exist.

Someone take his garden hose and sprayer away. He is just an angry old man.

What does Russia have on these Trump enablers? The don’t care about their constituents little alone, America. How do the sleep at night?drainthetrumpswamp

He is a nutcase .

McConnell loves socialism for billion-dollar corporations.

SATAN LIVES!!!!!

What a senile specimen.

That's fine, but you're not saying you're going to come up with a solution to health care premiums. You guys have had plenty of time. Now do something

Status quo mentality and puppetry tendencies.

But how will we educate Kentucky to vote him out? KENTUCKY 😩

He must have been abused repeatedly as a child and adult...

He’s a disgusting representative for Kentucky

How can a turtle kill anything?

To be honest, he’s the the worst “ nutcase “ unfortunately. He wouldn’t care about future generations cause he and his pal Trump will be ice cold by the time climate change starts to happen.

Job security. Bought and paid for by Citizen's United.

Medicare for all...reparations to African Americans...removing all student debt...free programs for illegal aliens...this is called pandering in all directions to get elected! And forget the GreenNewDeal

senatemajldr is the nutcase running around the fringe. It's long past time to vote out these out of touch dinosaurs.

I guess his balls has descended again after they ascended when he was kissing Trump’s ass and hiding during the government shutdown!

The Republicans are the ‘nutcases’ - they’re the ones who are happy to poison the planet for profit and think abortion is worse than children being gunned down🙄

he will block anything generated by Democrats - even if it is for the good of the people

Go Mitch

So he's going to take all that money back from the farmers that trump gave to them .

We need term limits!!!

Imagine claiming to be christian and not wanting easy free or affordable healthcare for all your citizens

The voters of Kentucky are truly evil, to keep sending nasty, destructive McConnell to the senate.

Mitch is bit of a nut case himself

I thought McConnell was the Grim Reaper, doing his best to kill democracy...

No worry, old age gunna do him in soon enough.

“nutcases running around on the fringe'? How dare you say that about Don the Con Mitch, TRUE AS IT IS?

Thank you senatemajldr! We MAGA and will KAG2020

Goodbye to those votes, Mitch. Nut cases? Oh my.

Socialism in America for Dummies. OSHA, FCC, FEMA, Parks and Rec, Military, Police, Firefighters, Voting, Medicare, Medicaid,Social Security, Scholarships,Loans and Grants, Roads, FDA, EPA, Healthcare emergencies, Zoning, Airport Security, Food Stamps, Libraries, Public Schools.

He already killed the Senate, nothing gets done.

Well good...maybe I’ll vote for him again then? Someone needs to keep the nutcases under control

THE REPUBLI-CONS HAVE DEMONIZED THE WORD 'SOCIALISM' FOR 90 YEARS, TRY RUNNING THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT SOCIALISM. THE MILITARY IS THE BIGGEST SOCIALIST PROGRAM THERE IS.!!

He must go!

DitchMcConnell

America!! Do you want Socialism Look at History!! If Socialism is Your cup of Tea then Democrats are Your Ticket!🤔

But Dems shouldn’t go for impeachment 🙄

And then poor people will blame immigrants for their problems and vote for the guy who vows to prevent them getting better healthcare

the fringe is the 1%...get bent McConnell
