Ever the optimist, Jimmy Fallon tried to make Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell feel better after a recent Morning Consult poll revealed he is the least popular senator in the country, carrying an approval rating of just 28%.
In the Friday night bit, the “Tonight Show” host on NBC pulled together several fake quotes from other U.S. senators offering “words of encouragement” for McConnell — but really they just served to insult a handful of senators instead of just one.
Fallon’s writing team had each senator let McConnell know it could always be worse, revealing their own issues with feedback from their constituents. Be sure to check out the video above, as many of the hilarious digs are based on the politicians’ looks.

Update: Appearing at a press conference on Capitol Hill, Jon Stewart called out Republicans by name for blocking legislation to extend health care benefits to veterans exposed to toxins from burn pits.
In expletive-laden remarks, Stewart said, “Ain’t this a bitch? America’s heroes, who fought in our wars, outside sweating their asses off, while these mother-f—ers sit in the air conditioning, walled off from any of it.”

Washington — A new radio ad from the National Republican Senate Committee targets Sen. Jon Tester (D-Montana) for remaining “silent for days” over a Pearl Jam poster that featured an image of a dead corpse of President Donald Trump in front of the White House.
The poster was promoting an Aug. 13 get-out-the-vote concert in Missoula. Tester’s campaign offered ticket packages to the concert and a reception the day before with the senator and Jeff Ament, Pearl Jam bassist.
The ad, which was released on Thursday, states that “a vote for Tester is a vote to put liberal Democrats in control, where they’ll work to impeach President Trump. But for the radical far-left, impeachment isn’t enough. Celebrities have talked about killing the president or blowing up the White House. Now, a rock band comes to Montana, throws a concert to support Tester – and promotes it using a vulgar, despicable...

The band Pearl Jam promoted a recent show in Missoula, Montana with artwork featuring the White House on fire and included a bald eagle eating what appears to be a dead and rotting corpse of President Donald Trump.
The poster, created by Pearl Jam band member Jeff Ament and artist Bobby Brown, was designed to plug an Aug. 13 concert intended to help raise money for Montana Sen. Jon Tester.
In a tweet that included an image of the poster, Ament explained its meaning in a hand-scrawled note:
D.C. Burning Tester Evel Knievel on Tractor…
Over The Cesspool Below
Russian Money, Golf courses, Hookers?
Maryland Matt Stars N Strips As Flames
Y’all Know The Deal, We’re at a Tipping Point, And Its Time For Action.
Jon Tester is the Real Deal, and Nobody cares More About our Country And Especially Montana.
