It’s not just the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield who gets no respect.
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was inundated with fierce boos and chants of “Retire,” “ditch Mitch,” and “lost the Senate” on Sunday in his home state of Kentucky.
The barrage of negative remarks continued non-stop for five minutes, as the veteran Republican kept voicing his speech trough the cacophony.
