Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is getting hit by members of his own party in a new TV ad airing Thursday in Washington D.C., and in his home state.
The spot urges voters to call McConnell and demand a vote on the election security bills he blocked last week. It also features a supercut of President Donald Trump dismissing the well-documented threat of election interference from Russia.
The ad will run on Morning Joe on MSNBC and during Fox & Friends on Fox News in D.C. (the latter is known to be one of Trumps favorite shows).
Former Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol shared the spot, which was created by Republicans for the Rule of Law, an organization in which he is a director:

Why is it that I don't trust anyone at all who has been a (r)? Some ass-hat who ran for office or anyone in those fancy institutions that lobby for them.
And why do I also not trust a (d) of recent heritage who doesn't have a good track record of supporting policies that benefit the people, democracy, social welfare?
Too many skip across the aisle hoping that their pathetic/negative slime trail won't leave a mark behind.
