WV-SEN: Blankenship Slams 'Cocaine Mitch'

West Virginia Senate hopeful Don Blankenship is intensifying his offensive against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, calling him “Cocaine Mitch” in a new TV ad released just over a week until the Republican primary.

“Blankenship… offers no context for the jab. But he may be referring to a 2014 report in the liberal Nation magazine that drugs were once found aboard a shipping vessel owned by the family of McConnell’s wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.”

in the party that you choose. It doesn't matter how insulting or outrageous the attacks are; if you win, you'll then demand absolute fealty from them "for the party", and if you lose, you're as rich as fuck and they can't touch you, because they need your money.
