McConnell Defends Trump’s Attacks on Congresswomen

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that Donald Trump is “on to something” with his inflammatory attacks against four congresswomen, Politico reports.

Said McConnell: “We’re in a big debate now and next year about what we want America to be like. Do we really think socialism applies here at a time of great prosperity, 50-year-low unemployment? That’s what the election I think is going to be about.”

He added: “Using, throwing around words like ‘racism,’ you know, kind of routinely applying it to almost everything. Let’s talk about the issues. And the issues are… where they want to take America. They want to take America into a socialist country.”
