Mitch McConnell On RNC Fundraising Presentation: ‘I Don’t Like It,’ No One Does

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday for producing a fundraising presentation that mocked the President and congressional leadership as cartoon villains and socialists.

Asked about the document — which outlines how “ego-driven” wealthy donors could be persuaded to take out their checkbooks — the Kentucky Republican called it “certainly not helpful” to the Republican cause.

“I can’t imagine why anybody would have thought that was helpful,” McConnell added. “Typically the way parties raise money is because people believe in the causes they advocate. I think the way we raise money from donors across America is to stand for things that are important for the country.”

It's about time that Republican leaders speak against this non sense. But the non sense has started since Barak Obama became president. Sen Mitch McConnell is more depress about the image the GOP will have vis a vis the wealthy donors.

I have seen worst images and acts. I have heard worst trash talks insulting the Democratic leadership in the Congress and The President of the United States. Republican leadership have created this environment or created a platform to favor these types of behaviors.
