They didn’t go after Mitch. They went after his wife Elaine Chao.
She wasn’t putting up with anything. “You leave my husband alone,”. WOW she was impressive
Mitch doesn’t get around very well. She was protecting him. Could have gone south on McConnell easily (fall, broken hip, etc.). At least I would assume Mitch will support any senate actions in response to the Antifa wing in the Democrat congress.
