WFB: Failed congressional candidate called program’s results ‘promising’.
Kentucky Democrat Amy McGrath deleted a tweet praising a jobs initiative that her opponent, Sen. Mitch McConnell, has championed for years—the second time she has unwittingly lauded the GOP majority leader’s effort to help struggling Kentucky residents.
McGrath on Tuesday tweeted in support of a McConnell-backed program that helps recovering opioid addicts learn job skills, calling it “innovative” and “promising.” The tweet was deleted minutes later.
“Kentucky communities are supporting innovative programs to assist in addiction recovery… and the results are promising,” McGrath wrote.
The now-deleted tweet linked to a New York Times article profiling an eastern Kentucky guitar factory that employs recovering drug addicts. McConnell has been instrumental in securing funding for the factory, steering hundreds of millions of dollars into local agencies that helped launch it. McGrath praised the program in October, calling it a “great initiative” that she would “fight” to replicate—that tweet remains active on her official account. read more
