Grimes radio ad claims McConnell is working to take away voting rights [race card]

The campaign of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes is reaching out to different demographics, including the urban areas of the state with a radio ad claiming McConnell is not only implementing policies hurtful to the communities but also trying to take away their right to vote.

Politico was first to report on the ad, which they say is running in Louisville and likely other areas of the state. In the ad, which can be heard below, a man tells listeners that Grimes is a “champion” for civil rights while also bashing McConnell for many things Grimes has hit him on before plus a claim that the senator is working to silence the voices of the African-American community.

“Worst of all, Mitch McConnell has been leading the Republican effort to take away our voting rights,” the man in the ad says. “Just like he blocked everything from getting done in Washington, he’s blocking the ballot box and trying to silence our voices.”

The ad does not cite any votes taken by McConnell to take away any such voting rights. And the Grimes campaign did not immediately respond to a call from Pure Politics about the ad.

The McConnell campaign said the ad reaches to “disgusting depths.”

“This is the kind of ad an unscrupulous, losing candidate may have considered running fifty years ago that we all collectively hoped was left in the past. Alison Lundergan Grimes is proving she will sink to disgusting depths in order to preserve her troubled candidacy,” McConnell spokeswoman Allison Moore said in a statement.

Grimey will not bow out gracefully with class. She resorts to the usual dishonest leftist tactics to the very end.

Hmmmm, I wonder what the voting rights of corpses are?

Isn’t Obola allowing EBOLA carriers into the U. S. rather a threat to voting rights?

The Demagogic Party is using those tactics, such as baldfaced lies, everywhere in the country. Braley in Iowa supports abortion on demand including partial birth abortion, without restriction, yet said in the debate that he’s never supported late-term abortion.
