Mitch McConnell experienced something over the weekend that he's never experienced before: A crowd of his supporters heckling him during a speech. Following his recent malfunction during a press conference - and all of the revelations about his poor health that followed - McConnell was met with a chorus of people chanting "retire" as he tried to deliver a simple speech on friendly grounds. This is not a good sign for the aging Senator, as Farron Cousins explains.

So this past weekend, Mitch McConnell in his own home state of Kentucky, experienced something that he has likely not experienced in the entire 38 years that he has been serving in the United States Senate. You see, Mitch McConnell gave a speech at the, uh, the 143rd annual St. Jerome fancy farm picnic, right? Big event. You had some Democrats there giving speeches, Republicans giving speeches. Mitch McConnell came out kind of like a headliner. Hey, I've been your senator for 38 years. Here I am, and he stepped out on that stage to a standing ovation. But soon, while Mitch McConnell was speaking, the cheers that he walked out to turned into jeers, and Mitch McConnell was soon heckled by the very people who have sent him back to the Senate for 38 years. Chants erupted among the crowd. Uh, one of the chants was shame on you. One of them was ditch Mitch.
One time they were chanting retire, and one time they were chanting, lost the Senate, which by the way, that last one chanting you lost the Senate shows us that it wasn't the liberals in that Kentucky crowd that were only heckling or that were the only ones heckling him. No, no, no, no. It's your own people. Again, the people who've been sending you back to that Senate for 38 years, since I was two years old, Mitch McConnell's been serving in that seat. And these people are getting sick of it. I mean, honestly, at this point though, guys, it's your fault. Like you keep electing the same person again for most of your lives, and then you're like, why is nothing getting better? Uh, maybe we gotta get 'em another six years. No, at some point, and I get more to Mitch McConnell in a minute, but I, I have to go down this whole tangent.
At some point, we have to start blaming the voters themselves. Like y'all are always out there and complaining like nothing ever gets done in Washington dc Well, let me vote back in the same people every two years. It's your fault. It's your fault. If you go to the polls every two years for the house, every four years for president, every six years for the Senate, and you're voting for the same s o b to go back to Congress, it's your fault. Nothing gets done. You don't get to sit there and say like, I just approve of Congress. If you're sending the same piece of crap to that office every couple of years, that's on you at that point. Sorry, had to get that out. But that's what these people are. Y'all are sitting there complaining about Mitch McConnell like he's old. His health is failing you. right. His health is failing. You know, he just had that episode during the press conference a couple weeks ago. We found out he's been falling down multiple times throughout the year, according to one staffer fell flat
On his face. He's not well, and y'all just sent him back to the Senate. So I understand you want him to retire. He made it clear during his speech, by the way, that he is not going to retire, but maybe next time you shouldn't put the octogenarian back in office. I don't care if they're 78, 79, whatever it is. You knew by the time he left office, he would be in his mid eighties. That's on you. The voters have to start taking a little bit of responsibility for sending these pieces of crap back to Washington, DC It's on you at that point. So there it is. Mitch McConnell deserves every second of the heckling that he received, not because of his health issues, but because of the horrid policies he's been pushing for 38 years that have done absolutely nothing to benefit the people in the state of Kentucky except for his wealthy donors.
He steered millions and millions over the years in projects to those people. But it hasn't trickled down to you. He's done nothing about the fact that Kentucky is, uh, uh, pretty much at the bottom of the entire country in health statistics, nothing about that. Nothing to improve the rampant poverty in Kentucky. No, no, no. But finally, the last straw for y'all was not the fact that he's only doing things to benefit the ultra wealthy.
