clashing with coal country ░░░░░░░░ Blankenship who has vowed ░░░░░░░░ continue his racially charged ░░░░░░░░ on Cocaine Mitch and ░░░░░░░░ China family It all ░░░░░░░░ with this One of ░░░░░░░░ goals as U S ░░░░░░░░ will be to ditch ░░░░░░░░ Mitch Martha Asking him ░░░░░░░░ back that up for ░░░░░░░░ it is a cruel ░░░░░░░░ Cocaine on a family ░░░░░░░░ chip should be not ░░░░░░░░ interest because cocaine deaths ░░░░░░░░ going up and even ░░░░░░░░ that chip happened at ░░░░░░░░ end of the year ░░░░░░░░ still need to be ░░░░░░░░ of it the cocaine ░░░░░░░░ other drugs moving on ░░░░░░░░ high seas on commercial ░░░░░░░░ If nothing else it ░░░░░░░░ make us aware that ░░░░░░░░ need to be careful ░░░░░░░░ these commercial ships are ░░░░░░░░ Martha Not backing down ░░░░░░░░ he is doubling down ░░░░░░░░ her this new ad ░░░░░░░░ this Captain Mitch McConnell ░░░░░░░░ created millions of jobs ░░░░░░░░ China people doing so ░░░░░░░░ has gotten rich At ░░░░░░░░ China family has given ░░░░░░░░ tens of millions of ░░░░░░░░ I will meet Joe ░░░░░░░░ and ditch cocaine Mitch ░░░░░░░░ the sake of the ░░░░░░░░ Martha Leader McConnell says ░░░░░░░░ about the whole thing ░░░░░░░░ my father in law ░░░░░░░░ an American who lives ░░░░░░░░ New York works in ░░░░░░░░ York and I don ░░░░░░░░ have any comments about ░░░░░░░░ observations like that MAcCALLUM ░░░░░░░░ the Blankenship campaign try ░░░░░░░░ back up their facts ░░░░░░░░ fell flat after a ░░░░░░░░ check from The Washington ░░░░░░░░ which found this four ░░░░░░░░ group the company Elaine ░░░░░░░░ s father owns is ░░░░░░░░ a Chinese company it ░░░░░░░░ an American company linked ░░░░░░░░ New York No evidence ░░░░░░░░ McConnell s father in ░░░░░░░░ had Given Mitch and ░░░░░░░░ wife millions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ the years Neither the ░░░░░░░░ who reported the story ░░░░░░░░ the Colombian Navy ever ░░░░░░░░ that the cocaine that ░░░░░░░░ found on that ship ░░░░░░░░ worth 7 million or ░░░░░░░░ anyone knew who stash ░░░░░░░░ relatively small amount on ░░░░░░░░ ship and no charges ░░░░░░░░ ever filed Here now ░░░░░░░░ Bruce columnist at the ░░░░░░░░ The Washington times Karl ░░░░░░░░ form 80 former chief ░░░░░░░░ staff Fox News contributor ░░░░░░░░ and welcome to both ░░░░░░░░ you We know that ░░░░░░░░ can get pretty nasty ░░░░░░░░ it appears that Mr ░░░░░░░░ has decided that this ░░░░░░░░ a good plan A ░░░░░░░░ strategy for him ROVE ░░░░░░░░ hope that he is ░░░░░░░░ wrong because the people ░░░░░░░░ West Virginia are sensible ░░░░░░░░ down to earth Americans ░░░░░░░░ a guy to go ░░░░░░░░ there think about this ░░░░░░░░ went to jail because ░░░░░░░░ ran a company where ░░░░░░░░ was and charged in ░░░░░░░░ flouting 29 miners that ░░░░░░░░ under his responsibly He ░░░░░░░░ not live in the ░░░░░░░░ state lives in Las ░░░░░░░░ And he is going ░░░░░░░░ there in a desperate ░░░░░░░░ to win He has ░░░░░░░░ outrageous charges that Mitch ░░░░░░░░ his wife is a ░░░░░░░░ man and tens of ░░░░░░░░ of dollars this guy ░░░░░░░░ not understand the political ░░░░░░░░ of the world The ░░░░░░░░ family was originally from ░░░░░░░░ which broke away from ░░░░░░░░ China in 1949 and ░░░░░░░░ States and create jobs ░░░░░░░░ America So let s ░░░░░░░░ a clear he is ░░░░░░░░ bigot a moron if ░░░░░░░░ wins the Republican nomination ░░░░░░░░ our chances go by ░░░░░░░░ West Virginia Martha Tammy ░░░░░░░░ think that this is ░░░░░░░░ extraordinary I am no ░░░░░░░░ of Mitch McConnell but ░░░░░░░░ guy is making me ░░░░░░░░ to defend Mitch McConnell ░░░░░░░░ it is so absurd ░░░░░░░░ this is an extraordinary ░░░░░░░░ he represents why Americans ░░░░░░░░ not trust politicians pretty ░░░░░░░░ seems to be trying ░░░░░░░░ look at his own ░░░░░░░░ back or here s ░░░░░░░░ you have you have ░░░░░░░░ man who is running ░░░░░░░░ racism and bigotry no ░░░░░░░░ no policy idea character ░░░░░░░░ maybe he is running ░░░░░░░░ be running as a ░░░░░░░░ at this point He ░░░░░░░░ attaching himself to Donald ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and Donald ░░░░░░░░ Jr Has rejected him ░░░░░░░░ not vote for this ░░░░░░░░ the president in April ░░░░░░░░ an event where the ░░░░░░░░ other Republicans running were ░░░░░░░░ and supported him and ░░░░░░░░ both of them But ░░░░░░░░ is about to voters ░░░░░░░░ West Virginia the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ is an insult in ░░░░░░░░ way that he is ░░░░░░░░ them We have so ░░░░░░░░ to do and to ░░░░░░░░ this kind of it ░░░░░░░░ almost like a parody ░░░░░░░░ add to and it ░░░░░░░░ heartbreaking because we have ░░░░░░░░ much to do And ░░░░░░░░ is a guy who ░░░░░░░░ think it s not ░░░░░░░░ trying to smear Mitch ░░░░░░░░ but trying to smear ░░░░░░░░ entire conservative movement in ░░░░░░░░ process Martha It is ░░░░░░░░ that ad that almost ░░░░░░░░ like a parody it ░░░░░░░░ sort of an onion ░░░░░░░░ or something because it ░░░░░░░░ almost as if they ░░░░░░░░ these are the buzzwords ░░░░░░░░ we want you to ░░░░░░░░ we want you to ░░░░░░░░ China family what a ░░░░░░░░ expression that that is ░░░░░░░░ is what is going ░░░░░░░░ work But when you ░░░░░░░░ at this there is ░░░░░░░░ mountaintop family packed which ░░░░░░░░ of leader McConnell are ░░░░░░░░ with they do not ░░░░░░░░ him to win because ░░░░░░░░ Mitch McConnell often says ░░░░░░░░ wants candidates that they ░░░░░░░░ and win So they ░░░░░░░░ back in Morrisey and ░░░░░░░░ Evan Jenkins but the ░░░░░░░░ of Republicans is that ░░░░░░░░ is going to look ░░░░░░░░ a Sharon angle race ░░░░░░░░ what happened with Roy ░░░░░░░░ you obviously are very ░░░░░░░░ with the campaigns in ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party do you ░░░░░░░░ are you nervous about ░░░░░░░░ is going to happen ░░░░░░░░ Tuesday night Yes I ░░░░░░░░ two points with full ░░░░░░░░ this week I ve ░░░░░░░░ Evan Jenkins for a ░░░░░░░░ I did a fund ░░░░░░░░ for him and his ░░░░░░░░ race for Congress where ░░░░░░░░ defeated and the most ░░░░░░░░ congressional district in West ░░░░░░░░ and 19 term incumbent ░░░░░░░░ is a doctor he ░░░░░░░░ at the state legislator ░░░░░░░░ democratic change party when ░░░░░░░░ was in the legislator ░░░░░░░░ I want full disclosure ░░░░░░░░ am for him And ░░░░░░░░ contributed because I am ░░░░░░░░ of Blankenship winning Jenkins ░░░░░░░░ the Fox News poll ░░░░░░░░ week ago Thursday had ░░░░░░░░ Patrick Morrissey had 21 ░░░░░░░░ had 16 but there ░░░░░░░░ 38 undecided and this ░░░░░░░░ since this poll came ░░░░░░░░ of the field Blankenship ░░░░░░░░ put 1 2 million ░░░░░░░░ his own money into ░░░░░░░░ race in addition a ░░░░░░░░ super packed headed by ░░░░░░░░ former U S Attorney ░░░░░░░░ prosecuted him and sent ░░░░░░░░ to jail has spent ░░░░░░░░ million dollars attacking not ░░░░░░░░ Blankenship but Evan Jenkins ░░░░░░░░ Patrick Morrissey because they ░░░░░░░░ Jenkins and perhaps Patrick ░░░░░░░░ but Jenkins can beat ░░░░░░░░ in the fall now ░░░░░░░░ is spending money to ░░░░░░░░ himself in the lead ░░░░░░░░ other is a split ░░░░░░░░ can split the vote ░░░░░░░░ Blankenship this win but ░░░░░░░░ it comes down to ░░░░░░░░ Leadership Why are we ░░░░░░░░ this position This is ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ asking We know what ░░░░░░░░ have to accomplish There ░░░░░░░░ to be some kind ░░░░░░░░ coalescing in making this ░░░░░░░░ happen in this fashion ░░░░░░░░ this is why we ░░░░░░░░ funny at the GOP ░░░░░░░░ that once again they ░░░░░░░░ be something that should ░░░░░░░░ a fighting fight by ░░░░░░░░ strong Republican end against ░░░░░░░░ could win We are ░░░░░░░░ even there That s ░░░░░░░░ we have some questions ░░░░░░░░ the GOP I could ░░░░░░░░ agree with you more ░░░░░░░░ s why I personally ░░░░░░░░ up and contributed to ░░░░░░░░ Jenkins campaign because I ░░░░░░░░ that he was the ░░░░░░░░ candidate but you know ░░░░░░░░ m not a west ░░░░░░░░ but I believe that ░░░░░░░░ Virginia is a great ░░░░░░░░ for us If you ░░░░░░░░ at the Virginian ballot ░░░░░░░░ generic Republican s 14 ░░░░░░░░ ahead If you look ░░░░░░░░ the polling of Blankenship ░░░░░░░░ is behind Manchin badly ░░░░░░░░ he is a crook ░░░░░░░░ went to jail he ░░░░░░░░ he wants himself tried ░░░░░░░░ get citizenship inquiring about ░░░░░░░░ to China to become ░░░░░░░░ Chinese citizen Martha S ░░░░░░░░ is of Chinese background ░░░░░░░░ she was born there ░░░░░░░░ Mr Blankenship said he ░░░░░░░░ move to Asia he ░░░░░░░░ I m considering moving ░░░░░░░░ China I could get ░░░░░░░░ in India but I ░░░░░░░░ rather be in China ░░░░░░░░ we have is when ░░░░░░░░ comes to West Virginia ░░░░░░░░ has done a year ░░░░░░░░ jail on the issue ░░░░░░░░ dealing with dealing properly ░░░░░░░░ Claims that he was ░░░░░░░░ by the way They ░░░░░░░░ do Martha They always ░░░░░░░░ 29 west Virginians who ░░░░░░░░ dead and he seems ░░░░░░░░ be a character but ░░░░░░░░ s people s lives ░░░░░░░░ at stake and there ░░░░░░░░ to be some kind ░░░░░░░░ coalescing here to make ░░░░░░░░ that we are in ░░░░░░░░ good position in the ░░░░░░░░ This guy is a ░░░░░░░░ And it is an ░░░░░░░░ to the people all ░░░░░░░░ these races are local ░░░░░░░░ we all have an ░░░░░░░░ in what stateside west ░░░░░░░░ do Martha This point ░░░░░░░░ well taken for Republicans ░░░░░░░░ listen to all of ░░░░░░░░ because the other two ░░░░░░░░ on the stage Jenkins ░░░░░░░░ you are backing and ░░░░░░░░ Morrissey kept attacking and ░░░░░░░░ each other and people ░░░░░░░░ the debate I think ░░░░░░░░ they felt like Blankenship ░░░░░░░░ done a pretty good ░░░░░░░░ And I guarantee you ░░░░░░░░ he got another look ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ that You are darned ░░░░░░░░ you do and darned ░░░░░░░░ you don t because ░░░░░░░░ idea of coalescing behind ░░░░░░░░ winnable candidate we saw ░░░░░░░░ in Alabama where the ░░░░░░░░ try to coalesce behind ░░░░░░░░ sitting U S Senator ░░░░░░░░ that got a lot ░░░░░░░░ kerfuffle because there were ░░░░░░░░ other competitors and we ░░░░░░░░ up with the one ░░░░░░░░ who could lose the ░░░░░░░░ and data If we ░░░░░░░░ not get behind the ░░░░░░░░ candidate the one could ░░░░░░░░ And it is not ░░░░░░░░ the incident where 29 ░░░░░░░░ beings lost their lives ░░░░░░░░ this company violated federal ░░░░░░░░ taking standards the company ░░░░░░░░ he had it in ░░░░░░░░ company that he ran ░░░░░░░░ the ground at the ░░░░░░░░ mine safety records of ░░░░░░░░ coal operator when he ░░░░░░░░ the CEO of it ░░░░░░░░ remember you pointed this ░░░░░░░░ during the debate he ░░░░░░░░ a bunch of coal ░░░░░░░░ into the watershed of ░░░░░░░░ neighbors after he got ░░░░░░░░ line of run into ░░░░░░░░ house so that he ░░░░░░░░ have fresh water while ░░░░░░░░ people had to go ░░░░░░░░ water in jugs and ░░░░░░░░ in order to bathe ░░░░░░░░ drink drink Martha West ░░░░░░░░ is in last place ░░░░░░░░ it comes to the ░░░░░░░░ first place when it ░░░░░░░░ to opioid use and ░░░░░░░░ and they need some ░░░░░░░░ strong leadership And I ░░░░░░░░ an election on Tuesday ░░░░░░░░ we will cover it ░░░░░░░░ here that evening It ░░░░░░░░ going to be very ░░░░░░░░ to watch the outcome ░░░░░░░░ thank you for being ░░░░░░░░
