KY-SEN: Ann Coulter Backs Democrat to Defeat Mitch McConnell

[RandySF]

Republican pundit Ann Coulter blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday while suggesting that her followers should vote for his "lovely" Democratic opponent in November.

The staunchly conservative commentator took to Twitter on Friday to accuse McConnell of backing so-called "RINOs," or Republicans in Name Only, in another Senate race. Coulter offered harsh words for the majority leader, while touting the military service of his Democratic challenger Amy McGrath.

"The lovely Amy McGrath is a Marine Corps veteran. The average donation to her campaign is $36," Coulter tweeted. "Mitch McConnell is a broken-down old man owed by cheap labor lobbyists. #DefeatMcConnell"

Coulter is particularly peeved at McConnell for his supposed campaign against former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who she called "the greatest living Republican." Kobach is seeking the Republican nomination for a Senate seat in Kansas and holds hardline anti-immigration views that are similar those of Coulter.

1. Is Coulter being quoted accurately here?

Is he 'owed" by cheap labor lobbyists because of all the favors he's done them or is he "owned" by them because of all they've given to him? I could see either of them being true. Surprised she's backing Mitch's opponent, though.

2. It's personal

She's trying to get back at him for helping Kris Kobach's primary opponent.

3. There are a group of republicans that tolerate immigration for cheap labor.

She is accusing McConnell of supporting immigration for cheap labor by opposing Kobach.

7. I see.

I didn't think about the rift over cheap labor in the GOP. That should be exploited more fully, the desire to keep working class whites while also keeping low-paying owners.

Let them fight and watch from a distance. Same with the Lincoln Project. Let them go at it all they want. Meanwhile we politely back away without showing our backs to them at any point.
