Mitch McConnell may find it hard to wiggle out of this one: the New York Daily News has dubbed the Senate Minority Leader “Spineless McWorm” on the cover of its Saturday edition for blocking attempts to form a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6th insurrection at the Capitol. Nearly 5 months later, 500 people have been charged in the violent attacks as pro-Trump rioters descended to disrupt certification of the 2020 presidential election.
“Mitch and His GOP Cowards KO Riot Probe,” the Daily News cover caption read that appeared with a creepy graphic of McConnell’s head attached to the body of what appears to be an earthworm emerging from the dirt, which the Daily News posted on Twitter.
