"Moscow Mitch" is the derogatory nickname that was given to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell by television host Joe Scarborough.

In a segment on his MSNBC television show, Joe "Morning Joe" Scarborough laid into McConnell, claiming that McConnell was "aiding and abetting Putin's ongoing attempts to subvert U.S. democracy" by not allowing voting on election security bills.

Here is the segment where the "Moscow Mitch" meme started:

"He is aiding & abetting Putin’s ongoing attempts to subvert U.S. democracy, according to the Republican FBI, CIA, DNI…All Republicans are saying Russia is trying to subvert U.S. democracy & Moscow Mitch won’t even let the Senate take a vote on it. That is un-American.--@JoeNBC pic.twitter.com/vV1TekFgHF
