Can you imagine people who are down-on-their-luck being laughed at by a turtle-face f__khead? [View all]
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) chuckled at the end of a radio interview recently when a host told him he hoped the lawmaker would vote "no" on extending federal unemployment benefits. Now, McConnell's Democratic challenger, Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, has gone on the attack.
In a Jan. 8 interview with conservative talk radio host Lars Larson, McConnell said Republicans would extend federal benefits for the long-term unemployed if the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate is delayed for one year.
"I hope you vote no on extending unemployment benefits," said Larson at the end of the interview, to which McConnell laughed in response.
Larson followed-up, "at least for the long-term unemployed, I appreciate it."
"Yeah, thanks Lars," McConnell said.
Listen to a clip of the interview below. The exchange is in the last 30 seconds:
