Just how stupid does Mitch McConnell think women are? Judging by his new ‘Women For Team Mitch’ campaign, the answer is ‘plenty.’
McConnell’s new pitch for the vote of Kentucky women — in his bid for re-election to the Senate — is so full of lies and distortions, he must think his constituents never pick up a scrap of news. Or perhaps he thinks most women are gullible and easy prey for manipulation by a ‘charming’ Southern politician. In any case, the move shows how desperate he is to combat the threat fromDemocratic candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes.
On Friday, at the rollout of ‘Women For Team Mitch’, the Senator’s campaign issued a press release that quotes a supporter as saying:
Mitch was the co-sponsor of the original Violence Against Women Act — and continues to advocate for stronger policies to protect women.
Oh, really? Well, he was, indeed, a co-sponsor of the original VAWA back in 1991, when it died in committee. However, he withdrew his support by 1993, voting against it in 1994, 2012, and 2013. McConnell has taken to insisting that he voted against the bill because it wasn’t strong enough — an odd position, considering that all of the female Republican senators thought otherwise and voted for it.
his time has passed he has fallen into that old republican bag of anything i say they will believe hence the lying was never an issue it was a reality, forgetting he was for it before he was against it before faking he's for it now, priceless he needs to retire to his shell and eat a few flies.The media-savvy campaign of Alison Lundergan Grimes, which has been hammering McConnell on women’s issues, stayed out in front of him as his Friday event grew near. A couple of days beforehand, the campaign sent an email to The Hill that said:
it's okay trust me he's a republican are you?Senator McConnell’s refusal to stand up for women on key issues of economic security is shameful. From voting against the Paycheck Fairness Act and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, to blocking the Violence Against Women Act, McConnell has failed to lead on issues important to women and their families. Kentuckians know there is one candidate on their side: Alison Lundergan Grimes.
