McConnell calls on McGrath to take down political ads as coronavirus cripples Kentucky

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign called on a potential Democratic opponent — former Marine Corps pilot Amy McGrath — to stop running political advertisements during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Amy McGrath’s decision to blanket the airwaves with deceitful ads during the coronavirus outbreak is tasteless and shameful,” said McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden. “As Kentuckians adjust their daily lives and schedules to help stem the outbreak, the last thing they need to see on TV is negative political advertising. The McGrath campaign must stop airing all of their advertisements.”

McGrath has been running advertisements in Kentucky since July, when she first announced her campaign for U.S. Senate. Recently, she has been running national ads on MSNBC and Fox News in an effort to boost her already prolific fundraising totals.

“Amy is well aware of the stress the coronavirus pandemic is causing Kentuckians and our nation. The only person who doesn’t seem to understand that is Sen. McConnell,” said Terry Sebastian, a spokesman for McGrath. “He has a 35-year failed track record on issues like health care and jobs in Kentucky, and now — during a public health crisis — he took a long weekend instead of doing his job and working to pass a relief package immediately.”

She needs to take them down and get new ones. My whole family groans when they come on TV. I don't know who her ad agency is, but she needs a new one. She needs to call Bloomberg or something. She has funeral music like someone is dying and then she's whispering in the camera like she's at church. WTH? How is that gonna beat dirty Mitch?

My brother works at a nursing home and he said the residents there also are sick of her sappy commercials. Even they don't understand what her point is.

Kerry had a bronze star, a silver star, 3 purple hearts, and never lost a man in the
most hazardous duty in the war and Karl Rove sold him as a coward. Fuck You
Mitch. BTW Kentucky and America would not be under so much stress not having
Trump as President too.

He's so transparent and such a hypocrite! He doesn't like it when he is the one getting his flabby, old ass kicked! I can't wait until the actual "Grim Reaper" pays him a final visit. It will serve him right after the nightmare he has brought down on the people of this country. Burn in hell, Mitch!

Good to see you, Cha!

If he wanted McGrath to suspend her ads for some reason, he could have just asked her, and they might have come up with an agreement. Doing it this way means he is, as we always knew, a pathetic idiot.

88. This is not a Good Look for Candidates During COVID-19 -- Sorry!
Mon Mar 16, 2020, 09:05 PM
Mar 2020

Instead, Amy should be finding ways in the community she can help (packing lunches for kids, volunteering etc.), take pictures of doing so and post it on every social media platform available.

When folks are trying to determine how to feed their families and survive, they don't want to hear about a candidate running for election if you are not HELPING or offering HELP.

This is McConnell's advantage as he is a Elected Official and can "look like" he is "trying to help" when he is really not. Amy needs to FLIP THE SCRIPT. ASAP!

Stop being such a traitor, stand up for American instead of the rich and Russia for a change, and the ads would be different. She's just calling him on his actions to date. She must be having a significant effect or he wouldn't have done this. It just shows a lot of weakness on his part.

Oh yeah and no one believes Mitch has even the tiniest shred of caring or he wouldn't have just had a 3 day weekend in the midst of a crisis. He, like drumpf is MIA when it comes to protecting We the People.

Interesting how Moscow Mitch has rules for himself and rules for everyone else. Like when he was adamant that the Scalia Supreme Court vacancy could not be filled in the last year of a president's term, election year etc. But NOW he says if there is a vacancy he would fill it right away.

And it's shameful for his opponent to run ads against him during the health crisis, but you know he would do it in a heartbeat, crisis or no. Expect him to use any dirty tricks or ads against McGrath that he can come up with.

Meanwhile he's dragging his feet and those of the Senate rather than getting work done to help those affected.

done......I don't want to think about it. I sent $7.50 (I'm a substitute teacher so on a budget and now am not working at all) to her campaign. I think something came up on my FB feed about her and I REALLY wanted to do something to get him out. After getting a Dem. in for President getting McConnell out is almost a priority for me (and of course getting the Senate back).
