Broadly, this image is rooted in two related ideas: news journalists' many conflicted portrayals of Mitch McConnell and the liberal media's near-apocalyptic depiction of Trump, his influence over the GOP, and the influx of Trump political acolytes into the party.

Here, I've portrayed McConnell as a literal knight in shining armor, ostensibly protecting his party from corruption and standing proud in his role against Trump adherents, represented as the monstrous, vile, and violent creatures liberal news media often makes out Trump supporters to be.
