No, it isn’t.
He’s being smeared because he knew that Russia was interfering in 2016 and held out democratic process hostage to his ambitions. He’s since helped broker a deal that allow Oleg Deripaska to evade sanctions. Then he blocked election security bills. Now his former staffers have managed to get a nice big Russian aluminum plant in our state, from the aforementioned sanctions evasion scheme.
All of this is -while- he and his wife have been grifting off the criminal in chiefs administration, and after he stacked lifetime seats with the explicit intention of holding on to increasingly unrepresentative amounts of power for as long as possible, whatever the cost.
He hasn’t exactly been doing a stellar job for the state he allegedly represents, either.
He’s a swamp rat.

It's perfectly understandable why he would block election security bills. It's because he is a toady for a President who views free, fair and open elections as a threat to his power.

Sure, and if he was as loyal and rational and methodical for the interests of this state or this country as he is to Russian interests, this president, and his own wallet he’d be one of the greats.

His relationship to the Russians and the chief executive bonespur is not that of loyalty. A demonstrated capacity for perfidy does not imply the presence of ingredient to do good.

We can call it whatever we want. I’d take it, in service to America. That’s supposed to be his job. It’s what he pretends to do for a living.

No need to assume. I would say the same if the name were changed to any other regardless of party. It's good to know that you so easily admit to situational ethics.

The man is a sociopathic traitorous scumbag and the world will be a brighter place when he dies. I make no apologies for wishing for it.

I understand that he dislikes the name 'Moscow Mitch', so you lot probably shouldn't call him that. And you REALLY shouldn't send a whole lot of postcards to:
Moscow Mitch
Russell Senate Office Building
317 Delaware Ave, NE
Washington, DC 20510
So, you know, don't do that.

Poor guys approval rating is underwater here at home. Least liked person in the senate by his own constituents, last I checked.
The reason he’s getting pissy, is that people in redneckistan are calling him Moscow Mitch, now.
