Democrats should drop leaflets over every county in Kentucky with a quote from McConnell saying just that.The White House released a series of videos on Monday to bring attention to failing infrastructure in Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell's home state of Kentucky in an effort to gather support for President Biden's infrastructure bill.
As the Lexington Herald-Leader reports, the videos focused on Eastern Kentucky residents struggling to get access to broadband and clean drinking water.
[...]
[BarbiAnn Maynard, a clean water activist,] describes her local water system as being "on the edge of total collapse."
Maynard also pointed out failing roads that were hollowed out by coal mining activity.
"The coal mines mined under our roads so there's hollow spots. There was no enforcement of the weight limit so they let the trucks drive overloaded on our roads," Maynard explains. In the video, Maynard drives past a large sign positioned on a destroyed bridge that reads, "China build us a bridge."
"There's about 25 houses on the other side of that road and they have no bridge, no access in or out," Maynard said.
[...]
McConnell has signaled some support for a bipartisan-led infrastructure package that have been proposed but he has maintained that stopping Biden's agenda is his top priority.
