Sen. Mitch McConnell: Come clean on the growing scandal surrounding your ex-campaign manager!
MoveOn.org
Come clean on what you knew about your campaign manager's alleged involvement in the bribery scandal and when you knew it.
Why is this important?
Senator Mitch McConnell has found himself in hot water yet again—this time surrounding, his now former campaign manager, Jesse Benton. Benton has officially resigned from Sen. McConnell’s campaign, as questions arise around the country, of his involvement in an ongoing federal investigation.
Before working for Sen. McConnell, Benton served as political director for the then-Representative Ron Paul. His involvement in that campaign has tied him to a scandal in which thousands of dollars were exchanged for political endorsements ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
The McConnell campaign has already done much to distance themselves from Benton. Now reports say that in the recent months, Benton had already been playing a greatly reduced role. Which begs the question: What did Mitch McConnell know about Benton’s involvement in this campaign financial scandal and when did he know it?
Sen. McConnell owes Kentuckians an explanation to the shady politics he, and the people around him, are involved in.
