<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Please, for the love of all that is holy, figure out what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, and not just what the GOP machine tells us to believe. We need accurate representation, not GOP controlled madness. Take Kentucky back!</p>

you need to visit Mitch McConnell in the hospital and find out his status. We deserve to know the truth about him.
It is your duty to keep us informed and represented.</p>

I’m sure you see they are just going to lie and obfuscate until August 4th. Get the people on your side and fight…National news level.</p>
