'Retire!': Mitch McConnell Heckled during Speech in His Home State

Aug 7, 2023 | Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, has been urged to retire by hecklers after freezing during a press conference last week. The 81-year-old senator attempted to make a speech at one of the state’s key political events, the Fancy Farm picnic, but was drowned out by the hostile crowd. Footage from Saturday’s gathering shows an unsmiling Mr McConnell talking from behind a podium as the crowd repeatedly boos and chants “retire”.

No wonder the Western world is in a mess! It is being led by geriatrics – old folks who should be contemplating their future in old folks’ homes rather than contemplating our future!

There is such a thing as knowing when to give up, when to call it a day. – © Mark Alexander
