Fallon Drags Mitch McConnell for Being ‘Least Popular Senator in the US’ With 28% Approval Rating (Video)

The “Tonight Show” host on NBC ran a bit where other senators stepped up to offer “words of encouragement”

Ever the optimist, Jimmy Fallon tried to make Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell feel better after a recent Morning Consult poll revealed he is the least popular senator in the country, carrying an approval rating of just 28%.

In the Friday night bit, the “Tonight Show” host on NBC pulled together several fake quotes from other U.S. senators offering “words of encouragement” for McConnell — but really they just served to insult a handful of senators instead of just one.

Fallon’s writing team had each senator let McConnell know it could always be worse, revealing their own issues with feedback from their constituents.
