LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — McConnell Senate Committee campaign manager Kevin Golden released the following statement regarding Amy McGrath’s latest ad:
“Amy McGrath’s latest ad is just racist, pure and simple. Could anyone imagine this ad running in an election if Elaine Chao was born in Europe? This is a despicable attack on Senator McConnell’s wife whose family fled communism, earned their success through relentless hard work, and have lived the definition of the American dream.
“Overt attacks on Elaine Chao’s heritage have been a familiar theme in previous campaigns from the washed up wing of Kentucky Democrats who still in 2020 cannot wrap their mind around actually nominating a person of color to represent their party. Amy McGrath has followed that well trodden path of failed candidates before her who chose to promote the raw wounds of prejudice when confronted with obvious electoral defeat.”
