McGrath Follows Pelosi’s Lead And Opposes President Trump’s Border Wall
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Extreme Amy McGrath is once again the star of Team Mitch’s newest ad, “Border.” This latest ad reveals how McGrath is in complete alignment with liberal Nancy Pelosi in her opposition to President Trump’s efforts to secure the southern border. “Border” goes on to highlight additional areas of agreement between McGrath and Pelosi, including being 100 percent pro-abortion.
“Amy McGrath is an extreme liberal whose only political success is parroting talking points from left-wing leaders like Nancy Pelosi,” said McConnell Senate Committee campaign manager Kevin Golden. “McGrath slams President Trump’s effort to secure the border as ‘stupid’ and actively calls to send taxpayer dollars to people in our country illegally. Working for Kentucky, Mitch McConnell stops the radical Pelosi agenda in its tracks and helps President Trump keep our nation secure. But Amy McGrath’s first vote in the Senate would be to transfer the majority leader job from Kentucky to New York, paving the way for Nancy Pelosi’s extreme agenda.”
