In her stop in Pittsburgh today, Hillary turned her attention downballot to defeating Senator Pat “Club for Growth” Toomey.
“Tiger Beat on the Potomac” or “Politico” article about it.
Pat Toomey is running neck and neck with Democrat Katie McGinty for the Senate race. The Kochs have been pouring dumptrucks full of money on wall to wall advertising for Toomey.
Toomey is one of the most radical right wing Senators in the USA. However, they are giving him an extreme makeover as an “independent voice” or a “moderate.”
Today though, Hillary ties him to Trump who he refuses to disavow:
““He still refuses to stand up to Donald Trump,” Clinton said, amid boos from the crowd. “Now a lot of Republicans have. They have had the grit and the guts to stand up and say he does not represent me.”
“But Pat Toomey heard Donald attack a grieving Gold Star family who lost their son in the Iraq war. He heard Donald call Mexican immigrants rapists. He heard him say terrible things about women. He heard him spread the lie that our first black president wasn’t really born in America,” she said. “Now how much more does Pat Toomey need to hear? If he doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Donald Trump after all this, then can you be sure he’ll stand up for you when it counts?”
Clinton also went out of her way to lift up Toomey's Democratic opponent, Katie McGinty, who worked for her husband’s administration in the 1990s, and is expected to join a Clinton rally later Saturday in Philadelphia.
Clinton hailed McGinty as “the daughter of a Philadelphia police officer” who has “devoted her professional life to protecting working families” and “exactly the kind of partner we need in the Senate.””
Toomey needs to go!!!
