FACT CHECK!

Is Mitch McConnell A Bag Of Farts?

Yoel Roth is Twitter's Head of Site Integrity. While acting in this capacity he Fact Checked a couple of Tweets by President Trump. According to his bio, "He leads the teams responsible for developing and enforcing Twitter’s rules on platform manipulation, spam, and API access, as well as Twitter’s investigation and attribution efforts related to state-backed information operations." For the 4 years prior to that, he held positions at Twitter that all have the word "trust" in them. And before joining Twitter he was a researcher for The Dangerous Speech Project. Keeping that in mind, let's read his tweet to the right from July of 2017, while serving as a Senior Product Trust Partner at Twitter.

Given his titles, it's easy to simply believe that Senator McConnell is a bag of farts. I'm not sure about the personality-free part. Not being as knowledgeable as others mght be in what makes up a bag of farts, I had to do research. It was from that research that I decided to throw out "personality-free" from this current Fact Check. I simply don't know if that is desirable or not when selecting a good bag of farts. All I could find was a few bags of farts (should it be bags of fart?) on Amazon. I took one of the middle priced ones and read its' dscription. A mid range bag of farts vs Mitch McConnell stacks up like this:

100% Stinky ????
100% Hilarious ????
100% Awesome ????

Analysis

Let's analyze this from our normal non-partisan data driven perspective. It's hard to really know if the Majority Leader is stinky. I will use the absence of data, in this case, as proof that he is not. One would think that if he were actually stinky, we would not have found out about it as late as 2017. He was first elected to the Senate in 1984. That's stinky for like two Twitter lengths and nary a tweet. Next there is hilarious. I've listened to and read quotes attributed to Senator McConnell a number of times. He can be hilarious. For example:

McConnell:

A reporter asked recently, 'What keeps you up at night?' I replied that I generally sleep well, but if I ever do have trouble, I don't have to count sheep. I count all the states I'm glad I'm not the governor of.

That's hilarious. But it's just one example. Senator Mcconnel is not 100% hilarious. Lastly, we have awesome. When I think of "awesome" I don't think "oh, Mitch McConnell". I think things like "The Red Sox sign Mike Trout" or "That cute girl at Planet Fitness smiled at me" or maybe "My cat didn't wake me up at 5am because he thought he was hungry". Those are awesome. Full on bag of farts awesome. I like McConnell, but he's just not up there with a Sox penant run

Bottom Line

It appears that the Fact Checker has been checked. Bags of fart(s) are 100% stinky, 100% hilarious, and 100% awesome. Senator McConnel, by nobody's standards in all of the United States of America, is at once all of those.
