I'm disgusted by the way your party keeps trying to confuse and dilute this truth (as well as many others).

Dear Senators McConnell and Paul:

You've set such a lovely example for Republicans in Kentucky. Are you going to step up and denounce people like this guy, or leave everyone to believe there isn't an honest Republican in this state?
