GOP Senator Mitch McConnell gave fellow Republican senators a bottle of Old Crow bourbon during a luncheon on Thursday, referencing a nickname that former President Donald Trump had given the lawmaker from Kentucky. Above, McConnell speaks to reporters during a policy luncheon in Washington, D.C., on April 26."I am so proud to call Kentucky home and bring the spirit of the Kentucky Derby to our Nation's Capitol.
Last month, McConnell, while speaking at a Kentucky Chamber of Commerce event, remarked on his many nicknames given by the former president, joking that"Some of you may not have heard that my latest nickname is 'Old Crow.' It was given to me by the former president, who's apparently not a fan," he said.
"And my response was, I wanted to thank him because this was Henry Clay's favorite bourbon," McConnell added, receiving a round of applause from the audience.
