Kentucky GOP To Dem Candidate Grimes: Return Woody Allen's Donation *UPDATE*
Last edited Tue Feb 11, 2014, 11:55 AM - Edit history (1)
The Republican Party of Kentucky on Monday called for Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes to return donations from two men accused of sexual misconduct, including famed director Woody Allen.
Louisville radio station WFPL reported that the Grimes campaign received a $500 campaign contribution from Allen and a $250 contribution from John Arnold, a former Democratic state representative who resigned last year over allegations he sexually harassed three statehouse employees.
....
Cooper said the donation from Allen, who recently denied his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow's allegations that he sexually abused her when she was 7 years old, is "just another instance of someone accused of mistreating women publicly supporting her campaign," as quoted by WFPL.
The Grimes campaign has so far drawn much attention to her rival Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) record on women's issues. A recent poll found Grimes with a small 4-point lead over McConnell.
