Liar, liar, pants on fire
This is a delightfully harsh editorial from the Lexington Herald-Leader on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's absurd claim that repealing Obamacare would have no impact on Kynect, the health insurance marketplace delivering coverage to 421,000 Kentucky residents:
What in the world did he mean last week when he told reporters that repeal of the Affordable Care Act — "root and branch," as he has demanded many times — is "unconnected" to the future of Kynect, Kentucky's health insurance exchange?Asked specifically if Kynect should be dismantled, McConnell said: "I think that's unconnected to my comments about the overall question." [...] We asked the McConnell campaign for a clarification and were sent the usual talking points and a statement saying, "If Obamacare is repealed, Kentucky should decide for itself whether to keep Kynect or set up a different marketplace," a suggestion that is unconnected to reality.Kentuckians are waiting to learn if their five-term senator understands — or cares — how much is at stake.
When McConnell made his original claim, it instantly became the stupidest and most dishonest thing his reelection campaign had said since day the day it launched.
after trying to pass off the question and Rand Paul not having it he went into deer in the headlights panic moment and out came the by product of his "i don't know what to say, i'm so confused" meltdown on TV i'm sure plenty of those Kentuckians who are now covered really saw the in authenticity of his words and mindset. hope they remember Nov. 4th, i'm sure the Dem governor won't let them for get or MS. Grimes AFTER ALL SHE DID TELL HIM IT'S BETWEEN HIM AND HER SOUNDS LIKE IT'S ON TO ME.
