Wow. You know that op-ed by Jennifer Rubin we told you about earlier where the WaPo had to issue an embarrassing correction? Well, Kentucky Dem Amy McGrath used the now-debunked quote from the op-ed in an attack on Mitch McConnell:
Mitch McConnell doesn’t care about our commonwealth or our country. He showed that last weekend to the country, and he’s shown that to Kentucky for the past 35 years. pic.twitter.com/RL4HhTWBdq

How is this still up?
This is a stunning and embarrassing display of ignorance — the House bill made it to the Senate this morning.
You want to pretend you’re running a credible challenge to the *Senate Majority Leader* and you get this stuff wrong? Come on.

Not a good look for the woman who want to take Mitch’s job:
"An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delayed a vote on the House’s coronavirus relief package." – @washingtonpost
Why does Amy McGrath keep lying during a public health crisis? https://t.co/m1x89TMw5i
