Mitch McConnell's campaign shared a photo of his political opponents' names on tombstones after the El Paso shooting

Quote:This tweet was questionable to begin with. The timing made it even worse.

Over the weekend, a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas left 22 people dead, and another in Dayton, Ohio killed nine people. But that didn't stop Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) campaign Twitter account from sharing a photo of his political opponents' names written onto tombstones hours after the first shooting happened.

The tweet from McConnell's official Senate campaign Twitter account @Team_Mitch started gaining traction after McConnell's Democratic Senate challenger Amy McGrath tweeted it out on Monday afternoon. Merrick Garland, whose Supreme Court nomination was stalled by and ultimately upended thanks to McConnell, is on another tombstone, as is Kentucky's Democratic Secretary of State Alison Lundergarn Grimes.


Hours after the El Paso shooting, Mitch McConnell proudly tweeted this photo. I find it so troubling that our politics have become so nasty and personal that the Senate Majority Leader thinks it's appropriate to use imagery of the death of a political opponent (me) as messaging. -McGrath responds


The original tweet was posted at 6:35 p.m. on Saturday — hours after news of the shooting started coming out, and just 24 minutes before McConnell tweeted his prayers to the victims and first responders in the El Paso shooting. The tweet was still up as of 2:30 p.m. Monday. Kathryn Krawczyk

Optics aside, just ******* stupid.

Oh good grief, let’s get all riled up......

Idiots...

Somebody got their panties in a wad.

And.......



Still not a reason to vote FOR a Democrat.

Eh.. I equate it to a bet that wasn't honored.

He certainly has an unhealthy fascination with the motherland.

Apparently he and his ilk didn't read the report or listen to what Mueller said.. You know their savior.

tasteless, sure.

Ali has since deleted the tweet

I find it funny the ones who are pushing Twitter to ban conservative voices are the same ones that say stupid sh*t and then delete it not realizing what they did.. Party of Geniuses.

That is just bad on Mitch's part. That is why he needs to be voted out of office. This is in bad taste and should not be tolerated on either side.

Look at the pearl clutching from the people who advocate the killing of children.

Were you one of the liberal idiots outside his house last night yelling threats of killing him and saying stick a knife in his heart?

Sadly I was not. Too bad. Found myself drinking my bucha in a yoga class while blasting a podcast on global warming instead. Otherwise this liberal idiot would've totes been there to shame #MoscowMitch
