Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is doing his best to tie Progress Kentucky, the liberal super PAC accused of recording a private strategy session on actress Ashley Judd’s mental health, to President Barack Obama.
In a new television ad set to air Thursday, McConnell’s campaign lists off a number of ways Democrats have wronged the senior senator from Kentucky.
“Mitch McConnell is Obama’s No. 1 target because Mitch protects Kentucky from Obama’s bad ideas,” a narrator says.
“Liberals will do anything to beat McConnell. They also launched racial attacks against Mitch’s wife. And now liberals compare Mitch to al Queda terrorists and North Korea’s dictator. How dirty will Obama’s allies get?”
