Secret Tape: McConnell and Aides Weighed Using Judd's Mental Health
and Religion as Political Ammo
http://j.mp/Zkuid9 (Mother Jones)
"On February 2, Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the US
Senate, opened up his 2014 reelection campaign headquarters in
Louisville, Kentucky, and in front of several dozen supporters
vowed to "point out" the weaknesses of any opponent fielded by the
Democrats. "They want to fight? We're ready," he declared.
McConnell was serious: Later that day, he was huddling with aides
in a private meeting to discuss how to attack his possible
Democratic foes, including actor/activist Ashley Judd, who was
then contemplating challenging the minority leader. During this
strategy session-a recording of which was obtained by Mother
Jones-McConnell and his aides considered assaulting Judd for her
past struggles with depression and for her religious views."
