Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is crowing over a nickname bestowed upon him by former President Donald Trump, paying homage to the “Old Crow” moniker with his choice of bourbon gifted to Republican senators.

McConnell gifted his Republican colleagues a bottle of Old Crow bourbon during a weekly lunch in honor of Saturday’s Kentucky Derby race, a reference to Trump denouncing McConnell as an “Old Crow” for holding opposing political positions, according to the Courier-Journal.
