Alison Lundergan Grimes Calls Out Mitch McConnell On Fair Pay Claims

Kentucky Secretary of State and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes' campaign criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for claiming he has worked for fair pay for women throughout his career, pointing out that her potential 2014 rival repeatedly voted against measures aiming to close the gender wage gap.


Snip.......

However, as ThinkProgress pointed out Monday, McConnell voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act twice apiece.
