Dems run from Progress Kentucky as group appears to implode in another McConnell attack

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Progress Kentucky is a super PAC that is acting more like a rogue operation in its efforts to unseat Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell -- sending out racially sensitive tweets and allegedly making a secret recording of the Senate minority leader’s re-election strategy talks.

The group has been around only since December, raising about $1,000 and spending $18, compared to the McConnell campaign that has raised $10 million toward 2014 re-election efforts, according to recent Federal Election Commission filings.

Kentucky Democrats have over the past week made numerous, overt efforts to separate their party from Kentucky Progress and its questionable activities.

A former state party official described group members as "just a couple of activists" intent on making a mockery of super PACs, compared to those active in the 2012 elections that were run by savvy political operatives raising millions from well heeled contributors.

"This has nothing to do with the party or even a group," said Chris Tobe, the former state party board member.

Earlier this week, Jacob Conway, a member of Kentucky’s Jefferson County Democratic Party, told Fox News that two group members secretly recorded the McConnell strategy sessions.

Conway alleges Executive Director Shawn Reilly and volunteer Curtis Morrison recorded the February office meeting from a hallway, perhaps with an iPhone, and later told him about it.

Conway said he came forward because he didn't want the situation tarnishing the Democratic Party.

Rats run for cover.

They're not stupid. Given the history of Kentucky Progress it is the wise thing to do.

We haven't heard anything from the FBI or McConnell for a couple days now, and not that FBI would say anything anyway.

 

They are all about prosecuting, keeping their jobs alive.

 

This will not end well for that Morrison creep.
