Instead of a respectful silence, the audience delivered a relentless, clear, and loud message for a full five minutes, drowning out his speech.
Foot-stomping and chants echoed around the venue, making it abundantly clear that the senator’s reception was far from warm in his home state. He is done.
The dissenting voices underscore the sentiment that McConnell, at 81 years old and with nearly four decades of senatorial service, is more of a representative of Washington’s political ’Swamp’ than the average American he’s supposed to represent.
Chants of "RETIRE" and "DITCH MITCH" overwhelmed his address, causing a scene of utter humiliation for the long-serving senator.
Mitch McConnell is the definition of the swamp.
