Mitch Hits Tea Party Group For Luxury Home With Wine Cellar And Hot Tub

DANIEL STRAUSS – MARCH 7, 2014, 9:41 AM EST

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is out with a new attack ad on Friday directly going after the Senate Conservatives Fund for its lavish offices on Capitol Hill and primary challenger Matt Bevin for implying that he had a graduate degree from MIT.

"Matt Bevin and out of state special interest groups are attacking Mitch McConnell — nothing new," a narrator in the ad said. "About what you'd expect from Matt Bevin who claimed on his resume that he went to MIT, when he didn't even attend. Bevin's allies at the so-called Senate Conservatives Fund are also attacking."

The narrator continued that "press reports reveal that they solicit solicit money from people under the guise of advocating for conservative principles but then spend it on a $1.4 million luxury townhouse with a wine cellar and hot tub in Washington D.C."

Buzzfeed recently reported on the Senate Conservatives Fund's Capitol Hill townhouse that it rents for office space which does include a wine cellar and hot tub.
