Millionaire Targets Kentucky Democrat Who Is Prosecuting Alleged Abuse in His Nursing Home
Terry Forcht Is Banker For American Crossroads, Rove Group Spending Millions To Beat Jack Conway
In the bitter U.S. Senate race in Kentucky, a local millionaire has helped launch a barrage of ads attacking the Democratic candidate – a candidate who, as the state's attorney general, is prosecuting the businessman's nursing home for allegedly covering up sexual abuse, records show.
Before reading this story, if I told you that the reason they were trying to steal this election is that they wanted to cover up the sexual abuse of senior citizens just so they could make an extra buck, you'd have laughed me out of the room. In fact, I'd have laughed me out of the room.
But it's true.
