Mitch McConnell campaign hires Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann as grassroots director

Just The News: The reelection campaign of Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell announced on Friday that it had hired as a grassroots director Nicholas Sandmann, the Kentucky teen who was catapulted into national prominence last year due to an incident at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. 

Sandmann was among the teen students from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, KY, who in January of 2019 were videotaped in what initially appeared to be an aggressive confrontation of an elderly Native American man, Nathan Phillips, at the Lincoln Memorial.

Footage of the incident—in which many students were wearing Make America Great Again hats—spread widely over social media and news outlets, leading to national outrage, death threats against the students, and condemnatory statements from both the school and the Roman Catholic diocese that oversees it.  more

  1. Mr. Turtle is a RINO of the highest order, and just trying to hitch his wagon to someone popular, who happens to be innocent and sincere in his belief in conservativism!

    I wish someone could get to Nick and warn him off, least he be tainted by the godless evil filth that is McConnell.

  2. Looks like Nick is about to get his degree from the School of Hard Knocks. Oh well. He’ll only come out the other end with a little a his naivety knocked off, but he won’t be destroyed by it.

  3. I have my issues with McConnell, but he has fast tracked lots of judges through confirmation. He has been excellent in that regard.

    As for Sandmann, he seems to have wise counsel. Hopefully he doesn’t get sucked into the swamp.

  4. Sometimes it’s worth replacing a mcconell with a democrat, who will cause such anger that a real conservative will be finally elected.

    Donald Trump is a case in point: after 8 years of those two obama turds, the nation gave the finger to Jeb! Bush, and put in the most positively transformative president this side of Washington and Lincoln.

  5. No it’s not worth replacing McConnell with a dem. That’s ignorance on steroids. Congress is a nose count, PERIOD. If your stack of noses is smaller, you’re fucked. No? Imagine a R controlled House, would we have had an Impeachment? Or conversely would we have a RECORD number of young conservative judges with a dem controlled Senate.

    You’re an idiot. Quit breathing or take a time machine back to high school and this time pay attention in Civics.

  6. And BTW Lincoln got over 700,000 men killed for a war that could’ve been avoided. While you’re back there taking Civics, read some history books that don’t give him tongue bathes.
