Kentucky Democrat: Beating McConnell Will Be Like Liberating Europe From the Nazis

Top Ky. Dem: Beating McConnell Will Be Like Defeating Nazis (National Review)

Unseating Mitch McConnell in this year’s midterms will be like freeing Europe from Hitler’s Nazi control, according to Kentucky’s Democratic speaker of the House.

“It reminded me of the feeling our troops must have had when they liberated the European nations after World War II,” state representative Greg Stumbo said at an event for McConnell’s Democratic challenger, Kentucky’s secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes. “Can you imagine what it felt like that you were liberating a country?”

“Well, you’re about to liberate your state from the worst reign of misabuse that we’ve seen in the last 30 years,” he added.

Polls have shown McConnell and Grimes in a close race, although most give McConnell the lead.
