Grimes Silent on Coal at Private Fundraiser

Grimes Caught Sucking Up To D.C. Elites, Harry Reid (Washington Free Beacon)

Kentucky Democratic Senate hopeful Allison Lundergan Grimes is coming under fire for telling Kentuckians that she is not the typical DC politician, but then schmoozing with DC’s elite Democratic politicians, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.).

Last week, her campaign promised that an expensive fundraiser with Harry Reid would be used as a forum to promote Kentucky’s coal industry and to mandate action that would protect the use of fossil fuel.

Lundergan Grimes failed to deliver on her promise, instead choosing to bask in Harry Reid’s lavish praise. The Nevada Senator called the Kentucky Senate hopeful “the perfect candidate” and “something special.”
