Mitch McConnell campaign says boys will be boys after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasts disturbing groping pic
Campaign manager Kevin Golden suggested the media is using the image to demonize, stereotype, and publicly castigate every young person who dares to get involved with Republican politics.

The national media has sought to once again paint a target on their backs rather than report real and significant news in our country," Golden said in a statement.


Wow, not even a phony, insincere apology.

If you thought Kathy Griffin was a threat, theres not much to really say to you anymore.

Yeah, it was a fucking dumb photo shoot that got correctly blasted by people, but to think it was a threat is lolworthy.

What is so bad about putting your hands on a cardboard cut out? I dont get it. Show me a victim or at least show me how what they did was a risk if you want to complain about behavior.

I must be missing something about this story?


Its not that it necessarily means they are at risk to do anything, its just in awful taste. I mean these are young people who think that implying youd violently sexually assault a woman, for ANY reason, but also just because, like...what?...: you...dont like her or because she is opposite the political guy youre rooting for is really fucking unhealthy. Both for society and for these young men.

1. Nobody said boys will be boys. You literally cannot find that quote anywhere. In essence doesnt mean verbatim. That is a writers interpretation or judgement call.

2. This has been condemned. The campaign has condemned the image as demeaning and rightfully so, it is.

Team Mitch in no way condones any aggressive, suggestive, or demeaning act toward life sized cardboard cut outs of any gender in a manner similar to what we saw from President Obamas speechwriting staff several years ago.

3. According to Kevin Golden, these young men are not campaign staff. They're high schoolers.

Lexington Christian Academy officials are aware of a photo circulating on social media which includes LCA students attending a recent, non-school event, Dan Koett wrote in an LCA statement. This matter has been addressed with the students and the families involved.

4. Hopefully the parents of these kids have gone over why this is absolutely unacceptable.

I think the biggest problem is, what is wrong with these teenage boys that they're literally campaigning for Mitch McConnell.

Teenage boys.

Mitch "The Turtle" McConnell

I literally can't even comprehend what would compel and motivate them to campaign for quite possibly the slimiest, least charismatic, least relatable politician in modern politics today. Is it... Is it spite? That is the only legitimate motivator I could think of that would compel anyone younger than 40 to go out and promote this dweeby, rat-finked, milk-sopped, two-faced, caddish, white-livered slimeball.
