McGrath Is “More Progressive Than Anyone” In Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Team Mitch today launched a new statewide advertising campaign introducing Kentuckians to extreme liberal politician Amy McGrath. Despite her attempts to paint herself as a pro-Trump Democrat, “Record” reminds Kentuckians that McGrath never misses an opportunity to side with pro-abortion, anti-Trump liberals. The ad also highlights McGrath’s support for impeaching President Trump and overturning the results of the 2016 election.
“When it comes to the issues most important to Kentuckians, Amy McGrath doesn’t shy away from taking the most far-left stance possible,” said McConnell Senate Committee campaign manager Kevin Golden. “McGrath can try to erase the past, but voters will not forget how radical the real Amy McGrath is. Senator McConnell works hand-in-hand with President Trump, but McGrath is a radical, left-wing Democrat who is eager to join forces with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in order to block President Trump’s agenda. With a preference for abortion on demand and impeaching President Trump, McGrath is too liberal for Kentucky.”
