After news broke Thursday afternoon that a local Democrat was accusing two members of Progress Kentucky of recording the secret meeting between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and campaign aides, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) communications director Brad Dayspring took to Twitter to taunt Mother Jones’ David Corn, who originally reported on the recordings.
In his tweet, Dayspring suggested that Corn “has some explaining to do.”
David Corn has some explaining to do. If Mother Jones was aware tape did not have consent of one party and ran with it… lotta trouble.

Jacob Conway, who sits on the executive committee of the Jefferson County, Ky. Democratic Party, told Kentucky-based NPR affiliate WFPL that Shawn Reilly and Curtis Morrison of Progress Kentucky bragged to him about recording the meeting from outside the room where it was held. Conway later told Fox News on Thursday that he outed Reilly and Morrison for the sake of the Democratic Party.
Corn, meanwhile, told TPM he “can’t say much now” because he doesn’t comment on confidential sources.
