Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's would-be Democratic challengers are raising the stakes amid the coronavirus pandemic, with one saying the Kentucky Republican's actions leave "blood on his hands."
Mike Broihier, a farmer and retired Marine, makes the claim in a blistering two-minute digital advertisement released on Tuesday.
Broihier argues McConnell knew President Donald Trump was unfit for office in 2016 but supported the New York real estate mogul anyway to appoint "far-right judges" and pass "massive corporate tax cuts" for his wealthy campaign donors.
"Because of Mitch, more people will die," Broihier says in the ad. "More Kentuckians will die. Mitch has blood on his hands."

Reminder: If Mitch and Mrs. Moscow are seen dining in public, it is your duty as an American to cough on them. (Additional action at personal discretion.)
