Perhaps trying to capitalize on the racially offensive tweets about the wife of Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) from a Democratic operative, the campaign for his reelection released a new ad featuring his wife Elaine Chao.
The ad has Chao speaking directly into the camera and defending her husband’s record on women’s issues, reports Kentucky.com.
Chao’s comments are a direct response to Democratic opponent Alison Grimes who condemned McConnell’s votes not to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act and against equal pay proposals.
You can watch the ad below and look at both Grimes and McConnell’s position on women’s issues in Kentucky.com.
