From the Courier Journal: "Super PAC supporting Mitch McConnell snags $1.2 million in 6 months, mostly outside Kentucky"
Taking money from a dead guy?
Courier Journal
One of the biggest contributions listed in the report is $100,000 from Bob J. Perry, of Houston Texas, chairman of Perry Homes. The report lists that Kentuckians for Strong Leadership received the contribution June 3. However, Perry, who has been one of the biggest Republican contributors in the country, died April 13.
Kentuckians For Strong Leadership? Really! Where are the Kentuckians? Looks to me like a bunch of old out of state rich guys trying to buy a Kentucky election for their pal Mitch McConnell!
