Is this deal shady? Of course it is. It's McConnell.
Despite that infamous “candidate quality” issue Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell complained about this cycle, he’s stuck with Herschel Walker in Georgia, through all the surprise children and abortions and other bonkers claims.
“I think we’re going to stick with Walker and all the effort we put in through [the leadership Super PAC] SLF, we’re going take it all the way to the end,” he said back in October. “I talk to [Walker] fairly often,” McConnell said. “I think they’re going to hang in there and scrap to the finish.”
The finish is going to be decided by a runoff election, and McConnell is still backing Walker, because he doesn’t care if a dangerously unqualified candidate advances to the Senate. McConnell has figured out a devious plan to unite his dark money arm, that Senate Leadership Fund Super PAC, with the get-out-the-vote machine of Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. The two inked the deal on Thursday. Never mind that McConnell is supposed to have nothing at all to do with the operations of the PAC because there is supposed to be a firewall between elected officials and the running of their affiliated PACs. Like McConnell is going to be bothered by legalities.
