Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) rejected the idea expressed by President Trump that media were the enemies or the opposition on Thursday. “I don’t view you guys as the enemy. I view that you have a job to do,” the leader of the Senate Republicans told reporters at a press conference.
“I expect adversarial questions. And you rarely disappoint me. And I think its part of what make America function,” McConnell said. “We need a free and open press and we certainly have that and so that’s my view.”
Around the same time that McConnell made those comments, White House senior advisor Steve Bannon reiterated his view that the media represented the “opposition.” At the annual Conservative Political Action Conference held near Washington D.C.

No surprise coming from him. /s
Fact is majority of media demonizes and is out to destroy conservatives/Republicans and has been for a long time. It’s only fair they be challenged. After all, Obama couldn’t handle the lone voices of dissent at Fox News and even they have their liberals.
The press sees Mitch as the *itch.
That’s because you are a blooming idiot!
This guy is a coward. Not fit to be a ‘leader’ and part of the disgraceful downfall of our country.
If you look around the senate and don’t see the turncoat RINO, it’s you.
Poor ole Mitch. Just another GOPe pansy.
Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are just as bad for this country as Schmuckie Schumer and Plastic Face Pelosi.
Mitch can’t even tell the difference between night and day.
McTurtle does a fine job of standing up to the presstitutes, eh?
Your either with us or against us Mitch.
Wow, no kidding mitch?
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Mitch McConnell has gone blind!
Even Ray Charles could see that, mitch. Slow down, turtle. You’re sitting on both side of that fencepost and going nowhere.
CONgre$$man ALERT!
Mitch is either an idiot or compromised, perhaps both.
And we don’t see McConnell as a republican. So ...
You can’t say we have “a free press” when the press is bought and paid for by the DemocRATS.
But, of course McConnell doesn’t consider DemocRATS as the enemy .. AND THAT’S A BIG, BIG PROBLEM.
Time for term limits !!!!!!
Ciaphas Cain sees Mitch McConnell as the enemy.
His stupidity knows no bounds.
