What's True 
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell experienced an influx of family wealth in 2008 due to an inheritance his wife received.
What's False 
McConnell didn't mysteriously increase his net worth by $2.4 million every year over the course of a decade while serving in the Senate.
 
As Senate Majority Leader, McConnell received an annual salary of $193,400, but the Kentucky Republican reported an influx of family wealth between $5 million and $25 million in 2008, according to his financial disclosures. That influx was the result of an inheritance his wife received upon the death of her mother , and that information has been part of public discourse since 2014, when it became campaign fodder for McConnell’s Democratic opponent, Allison Lundergan Grimes
 
and this right here is my favorite part:
 
In late February 2019, a misleading meme was circulated on Facebook  that led viewers to ask whether U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had mysteriously amassed vast wealth in yearly increments to the tune of $2.4 million while in office |  As you said previously
