A new mobile billboard by the Need to Impeach campaign warns Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to move in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump or “lose his job,” after a Republican incumbent governor lost to a Democrat in the deep-red state.
The billboard, set to debut on a truck to be driven around Washington, D.C., Wednesday and obtained by Newsweek on Tuesday, refers to McConnell by a nickname bestowed on him by critics of his decision to block election security bills despite evidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 elections.
“Moscow Mitch: Do Your Duty or Lose Your Job,” reads the billboard, which also features his face.
Need to Impeach and other groups have targeted McConnell before, but the campaign’s lead strategist Kevin Mack told Newsweek that “things are different” since Republican incumbent Matt Bevin narrowly lost the Kentucky gubernatorial election last week to Democrat Andy Beshear.
