Just in case you can’t see it clearly enough, that is McConnell echoing the brooding and malevolent owner of the Springfield nuclear power plant. Here it is side-by-side.

People were quick to chime in with various Simpsons references.

Of course, there were other demonic beings that McConnell—who just attempted to pass a healthcare bill that would add to the ranks of uninsured—reminded people of.

That said, if McConnell truly was a ghoul of some sort, it would definitely be a haunted turtle.
