Backward State? Mitch McConnell Attacks Opponent For Saying She Believes In Climate Change

Apparently in Kentucky, you can attack your opponent for answering “yes” to the question “do you believe in climate change?”

Is this something you can attack your opponent on?  In a lot of states, answering “yes” would actually help you. Perhaps she – like Scott Brown – could run for office in a different state.

In a short YouTube clip posted by ‘Team Mitch Rapid Response’ on Thursday, Grimes answered the interview question: “Do you believe in climate change?” from Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones. “I do,” she said. “You know, Mitch McConnell and I differ on this. He still wants to argue with the scientists. I do believe it exists.”

Grimes has a tough balancing act to make with 15,000 coal jobs in the state.
