A new ad by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) features NBC “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd saying Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes “disqualified herself” by refusing to say in a recent interview if she voted for President Barack Obama.

The stumble last week led to pushback for Grimes, who is polling neck and neck with the Senate Republican leader.

The McConnell campaign said on Monday that the ad, called “Disqualified,” will air on TV statewide. It can be watched below.

  1. You wanted Jon but got Chuck. Way to go NBC.

  2. only hurt your ratings more Chuck you report the news and ask questions not give your opinion.

  3. so this is the “liberal” media they are always spewing about???

  4. Disqualification can easily be applied to Sahil, McConnell and Todd.

  5. I really don’t why Ms. Grimes would have such a problem with this question. I mean, its not like she was asked if she voted for Josef Stalin or Adolph Hitler. Why not ‘man up’ and say ‘you’re mighty damned right I voted for our president, and what’s more, he’s done one helluva job’.
