McConnell campaign cashes in on 'Cocaine Mitch' taunt with popular t-shirts.
Turning the disparaging nickname"Cocaine Mitch" on its head, Senator McConnell's campaign says they have hit fundraising gold.
That ad did not explain the nickname, but in a later statement, Blankenship's campaign explained it was a reference to unfounded allegations that a shipping company run by the father of McConnell's wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, transported drugs.Now, McConnell's campaign is urging supporters to"join the Team Mitch Cartel" by contributing $35 dollars to the campaign for a t-shirt.
Tanya Meeks, a Lexington, Kentucky resident, and founder of the anti-drug organization Stop Heroin Lexington, started a petition against the shirts. Meeks, whose son died of a heroin overdose, wrote in an open letter to Senator McConnell that"the shirts are not acceptable anywhere, but in a state that is ground zero for opioid addiction, it is reprehensible."
