McConnell Camp Denies Misogyny In Judd Plot: ‘Nothing Out Of Bounds In The Tapes’

[Purveyor]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) campaign manager, Jessie Benton, on Thursday insisted that it had not been misogynistic to scheme about using Ashley Judd’s “emotionally unbalanced” mental state against her if she ran for Senate in Kentucky.

Earlier this week, Mother Jones‘ David Corn published audio from an unnamed source of a strategy meeting that he said proved “McConnell and his aides considered assaulting Judd for her past struggles with depression and for her religious views.”

On Thursday, Jefferson County Democratic Party executive committee member Jacob Conway told Kentucky radio station WFPL that two members of Progress Kentucky had bragged to him that they had made the recording while standing in a hallway outside the conference room where the meeting was taking place.



Conway told Fox News that he couldn’t verify that the recording Progress Kentucky made was the same one published by Mother Jones, but “I was trying to protect the Democratic Party.”

Fox News host Megyn Kelly later asked Benton if he believed the tactic of leaking campaign strategy meetings was “unusually dirty.”
