Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wants Kentuckians to believe that Kynect (a health care portal they do like) and Obamacare (the less popular health care law that created Kynect) are not the same thing. After being criticized for that comment repeatedly, he made the same argument again during a debate on Monday with Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.
“Kentucky Kynect is a website. It was paid for by a grant from the federal government,” he said. “The website can continue, but in my view the best interests of the country would be achieved by pulling out Obamacare root and branch.”
