MSNBC's Chris Matthews referred to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as "Bugs Bunny" during the network's live coverage of the Senate impeachment trial.
The "Hardball" host said the Kentucky senator "always gets away" with something he did wrong.
“If the Bugs Bunny, I call him, of this business, the clever Mitch McConnell, who is so much a Bugs Bunny character, he always gets away with it," Matthews said. "And we know he got away with something that he did wrong, just like Bugs Bunny.”
The Senate early Wednesday morning approved a rules resolution for the impeachment trial that largely echoes the rules McConnell had hoped to set.
It prevents Democrats from calling new witnesses or offering new documents for evidence. Democrats will get a chance to have the Senate vote to consider witnesses again after the impeachment managers and President Trump's impeachment team offer their arguments.
Matthews has referred to McConnell as the iconic cartoon character before, including on Jan. 14 when discussing impeachment trial rules.
"But sometimes, he is Bugs Bunny, you know. He's not Elmer Fudd sometimes. He knows what he's doing," Matthews, a former speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, said.

Matthews is going full Biden.
I don’t always agree with McConnell, but I have never suspected him of breaking the law or violating the U. S. Constitution.
Again, with the projection. The Leftists just can’t help themselves.
“Chris Matthews is Sylvester the Cat. Spewing saliva with every word he speaks.”
Sufferin’ Succotash!!
Geez, don’t these people know… If you’re going to call someone a name, you have to call them by the right name.
McConnell is known as “Cocaine Mitch”.
Exactly.
Matthews? That draft\war dodger? ...nice try.
Bugs Bunny is a beloved character. Most people see him as an 'Everyman' outwitting his hapless foes.
Chris is so funny as he plays his own “Looney Tunes” character.
Matthews is a floating turd. A dishonest one at that.
He needs to be flushed.
He’s dumber than even I thought. McConnell is known as a turtle, not the hare.
Mitch “Well Oooookkayy, Ima going now” Varrroooom! Dang the turtle reached ludicrous speed. WOW.
LOL, true, that. I have to admit...he DOES look more like a turtle than a rabbit!
