New Team Mitch Ad Slams Amy McGrath’s Racist Ad
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — On the heels of Amy McGrath’s racist attack ad, Senator Mitch McConnell issued the following statement regarding the release of a new Team Mitch ad sharing the story of Elaine Chao’s “American Dream” that McGrath continues to attack:
“Elaine and I have suffered no shortage of racially tinged political attacks since we’ve been married, but this ad is probably the worst. My wife has spent decades serving her country, and although her family looks a little different than Amy McGrath’s, I can assure her that they are every bit as American.”

SCRIPT:
MITCH MCCONNELL: I’m Mitch McConnell and I approve this message.
ANNOUNCER: McGrath attacks McConnell on China. Nobody is tougher on China than Mitch.
ANNOUNCER: So why the attack?
ANNOUNCER: It’s really a racist attack on McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao. McGrath attacks a family who fled communist China.
ANNOUNCER: Starting out speaking no English, Elaine has served two presidents. She’s lived the America dream.
ANNOUNCER: The Washington Post called McGrath’s ad “grossly misleading.” Most just call it racist.
