Matt Bevin, who is challenging Sen. Mitch McConnell in next year’s Republican primary in Kentucky, might seem like a natural friend for Kentucky’s Tea Party favorite Sen. Rand Paul. But then why is Paul supporting McConnell? “There is nobody in Kentucky that is fooled by this Mitch-Rand love narrative,” Bevin tells “The Fine Print.” “The people who have ultimately coalesced behind Rand Paul are people who have from the beginning been with me in large measure … And those very same people are looking for someone else to be an alternative to what they see as the bit of the charade, the pretend conservativism that we get from Mitch McConnell.” Bevin points specifically to a Republican coalition that is threatening to block a continuing resolution to fund the government through September 30 if it includes funding for the Affordable Care Act. “Right now, he [McConnell] is the number one antagonist to Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and these others who are circulating this letter and trying to get conservatives to stand up and defund this as part of the continuing resolution,” Bevin said. news.yahoo/blogs/power-players-abc-news/gop-senate-candidate-matt-bevin-nobody-buying-mitch-110220470.html?vp=1
