Mitch McConnell drowned out by chants of ‘retire’ during speech #shorts

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was drowned out by jeers and chants of “retire” during a speech in Kentucky Saturday, just days after the Republican lawmaker froze up midsentence at an event.

While speaking at the Fancy Farm picnic, one of his home state’s main political events, the 81-year-old Republican received some positive cheers before getting drowned out by an angry crowd screaming “Shame on you,” “Ditch Mitch,” “Retire” and “Lost the Senate.”

“This is my 28th Fancy Farm, and I want to assure you it’s not my last,” McConnell said at the top of his breakfast speech, only vaguely addressing the overarching concerns about his health.

McConnell, seemingly unbothered, continued with his speech without acknowledging the hostile reception and repeated taunts from what Associated Press reported were Democrats in the crowd.

“My friends, I’ll be honest, it’s not hard for Republicans to look good these days,” McConnell could barely be heard saying amid the roaring crowd.

In video footage of his speech, McConnell is barely heard as the raucous crowd shouts “Retire!” before an overwhelming wave of booing takes over.
