Does McConnell Deserve a Statue?

About this episode

The episode discusses the controversy surrounding the proposal to erect a statue of Mitch McConnell in the Frankfort Capitol building and examines related political issues.

I discuss how ridiculous the push to put a McConnell statue in the Frankfort Capitol building rotunda is when we look at who else his statue would sit by. I go through the Matt Bevin court case. Beshear responds to Ball's audit.
