To the Editor:

Re “Pressure Mounts on Senate Leader to Secure Ballot” (front page, July 31):

Too bad that Mitch McConnell is upset about his new nickname, Moscow Mitch. Instead of feeling slighted, he should do what any other patriot would do: Use his good will and prominent office to prevent the Russians from interfering again with our electoral system!

In other words, stop whining and start performing, Mitch, or else the nickname will stick!
