[Perfect. Just perfect] Mitch McConnell's campaign hires Covington teen Nick Sandmann

By Associated PressAugust 28, 2020 | 8:18pm



LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign has hired a Kentucky teenager known for his viral encounter with a Native American man at the Lincoln Memorial last year.

Nick Sandmann landed a paid position as grassroots director for McConnell’s reelection effort in Kentucky, the senator’s campaign said Friday. Sandmann started his new role this month, and McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden said they’re “excited” to have him on board.

As grassroots director, Sandmann will assist in developing field operations and building coalitions.

“Along with our already strong team, his efforts to bring people together all across Kentucky will be critical to Senator McConnell’s victory this November,” Golden said in a statement.

What in the hell does this spoiled brat know about grassroots campaigning?

But they'll bring him in, give him the title, and then he'll be able to get other jobs because of his "experience" as a grassroots political director for a Senate campaign.

be a Governor, Majority leader, cabinet member, K street lobby or some such. He's a bully and has parents who know people. Now he's in good with Mitch. Give him 5 years and he'll be fucking over a whole state if not a whole country.
