Mitch McConnell just got put in his place
When Mitch McConnell attacked President Obama this week, asserting that Obama was “classless” and insisting that Obama “keep his mouth shut,” we all knew exactly what McConnell was doing. He was speaking in not so subtle racist code words, aimed at fanning the flames of hatred that racists still harbor for a popular black president.
Unfortunately, much of the mainstream media has declined to call out Mitch McConnell for what he’s really trying to do here. But Democratic Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is having none of it, calling out McConnell for the racist that he is:
President Obama apparently doesn’t know his place in Trump’s America.
Speak when spoken to Boy.
Here’s a thought Mitch.
Keep YOUR reckless mouth shut.
We must take the Senate back and teach McConnell his place in the Minority.
