McConnell’s First Ad of General Focuses on Combating Mob, Defending Police
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) highlighted recent chaos overtaking Democrat-run cities across the country in his first campaign ad, calling the toppling of statues and harassment of police "simply unbelievable." "The mobs have come for our founders and our heroes—Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln," McConnell says in the ad. "When the dust settles, it is never the mobs or the bullies that we honor. It is the brave leaders who confront them."

Amy McGrath's pathetic finish shows again that money can't buy elections
As of June 1, she had spent an astonishing $21 million of that. For reference, the Democratic candidate who ran against McConnell in 2014 spent a total of just $19 million for her entire campaign, starting in July 2013 and running through November 2014. Unfortunately, as a candidate, McGrath was something of a floppy gaffe-machine — to the point that Sen. Elizabeth Warren took back her endorsement and gave it to Charles Booker, a more liberal candidate and a little-known state representative. He had raised and spent less than $1 million on his campaign as of early June.

Mitch McConnell slams ‘total hypocrite’ Chuck Schumer for blocking police bill
McConnell alleged in a Fox News Radio interview that Schumer had an eye on the election and tried to “airbrush” bill author Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) out of the debate. Scott is one of three black senators, the other two being Democrats. “It was an inconvenient truth for Chuck Schumer that Tim Scott was the author of the bill,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said. “And so he tried to just sort of airbrush him out of it. He referred to it several times as the McConnell bill. It was the Scott bill that they refused to allow to come up — someone experienced exactly the kind of police selective enforcement that we all witnessed in the most severe form with the murder of George Floyd.”
