Alison Lundergan-Grimes Accuses Mitch McConnell Of Laughing 'In The Faces' Of Unemployed
The article should be titled. Brilliant political move on Alison's part. Another in a series of very effective blows to McConnell. I think she might have what it takes to ditch Mitch.

Alison Lundergan Grimes Accuses Mitch McConnell Of Laughing 'In The Faces' Of The Unemployed
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) chuckled at the end of a radio interview recently when a host told him he hoped the lawmaker would vote "no" on extending federal unemployment benefits. Now, McConnell's Democratic challenger, Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, has gone on the attack.
In a Jan. 8 interview with conservative talk radio host Lars Larson, McConnell said Republicans would extend federal benefits for the long-term unemployed if the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate is delayed for one year

The Grimes campaign slammed McConnell in response to the interview:
It is shameful that after failing for nearly 30 years to offer a credible plan to put Kentucky back to work, Mitch McConnell has the audacity to laugh in the faces of more than 18,000 unemployed Kentuckians, including 1,200 coal miners in Pike County," Grimes spokeswoman Charly Norton said. "The people of Kentucky deserve a senator they can be proud of -- not one who offensively looks down upon our people and is an embarrassment to the values we hold dear. We take care of our own in this state. As senator, Alison Lundergan Grimes will never turn her back on the hardworking men and women of the Commonwealth.
