Jesse Benton, Mitch McConnell’s 2014 campaign manager who said in a private phone call that he was “holding his nose” to work for the Senate minority leader, is trying to polish the giant turd he deposited on McConnell’s doorstep.
He now tells a Louisville TV station, “It was just so dumb, I don’t feel that way at all.”
The first half of his statement is true.
Bad as Benton looks, McConnell looks worse for not having the balls to fire him.
