A former Trump supporter tells 'MoscowMitch' McConnell, 'If you don't like this nickname, do your job'
The veteran said he once supported McConnell"because I originally believed that it was the Democrats that were out there to take away our rights away." Weissman stopped supporting Trump in early 2018, and the Republican Party as well around the same time, after coming to the belief that much of the GOP's work is"based on lies about the Democratic Party."
"You take money from the NRA and Russia which is preventing you from making the right decisions to secure our Democracy and safety of the American people," Weissman wrote, concluding that"if you continue these acts, which I know you will, I will do all I can to help [McConnell Senate challenger] Amy McGrath to replace you in office."
"Unbelievable for a Cold Warrior like me who spent a career standing up to the Russians to be given a moniker like that. It's an effort to smear me. You know, I can laugh about things like the 'Grim Reaper,'" he said of a nickname he gave himself,"But calling me 'Moscow Mitch' is over the top."
