He is a joke, stop lining your pockets mitch!

If they ever looked in the mirror all their saying that about 90% of our government is unacceptable would any sane nation say this

[thedirty]

Seems likes the Forbes crowd is a bit angry at that statement... I wonder why?

[scottcochrane]

If I replied like that, I'd be arrested for public intoxication!?

They never criticize each other it’s the unwritten rule

[Holmesson]

They should honestly hire a new puppeteer to operate him. His movements didn't seem lifelike at all.

[danmayberry]

Mitch intentionally equated white nationalism to white supremacy. Well said.

Well look at that, why don’t you? There standing right behind the senate minority leader is none other than our very own senator from Iowa, Joni Ernst. It seems everywhere he goes, you will find her there. In fact, it is hard to tell where he ends and she begins.
We Iowans need to find a really good high quality candidate and send her out of D.C. on the very next thing smokin.
She is a very weak senator. We had 2 really great candidates running when she first ran. Matt Whitaker and Sam Clovis. Both served in the Trump administration. Whitaker as acting A.G., and Clovis as an advisor. Both men were and are rock solid. They have backbones like an oak saw log. Something Senator Ernst is severely lacking.

How about Chinese Nationalism, will he denounce it too?

Will he denounce Chinese supremacy?

[dannyheath]

He should go play pickle ball with Nancy

[ProgressiveTnKr]

He said im not racist but separate but equal

[rohan-qdpy]

Very acceptable in certain circles, in fact they are encouraged and rewarded.just ask mrfortyfive

[Winstn]

We are fu we have to get rid poo like this. 😅😂

[deanrobinson]

No he’s another bloke that needs to be investigated before he retires

[chokito]
