VIDEO: 'She's just got to do what she's got to do to get elected'...



Grimes’ campaign workers caught on hidden camera: "It's a lying game”/Washington Free Beacon
The video, produced by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, shows five employees of the Grimes campaign and local Democratic Party affiliates speculating that the Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) is only professing her support for the industry out of political expediency....

She’s saying something positive about coal because she wants to be elected,” said Ros Hines, a staffer in Grimes’ Lexington campaign office. “And in the state of Kentucky, if you are anti-coal, you will not get elected, period, end of conversation.”

Some Grimes supporters captured in the hidden-camera video likewise suggest that Grimes is lying about her support for the industry in order to get elected.

“She has to say that,” remarked Juanita Rodriguez of the Warren County Democratic Party. “But you know what? Politics is a game. You do what you have to do to get [elected]. … It’s a lying game unfortunately.”

ALLISON GRIMES AND THE LYING GAME - John Hayward/Human Events @Doc_o



...Grimes is one of the most hilariously phony candidates in this election cycle – there’s no Democrat who does a less convincing job of pretending to be a maverick who barely even heard of this Obama guy, and doesn’t like what little she’s heard. It doesn’t speak well of McConnell that he can’t close the deal against such a challenger in Kentucky. Maybe it will help that a new undercover video from James O’Keefe and Project Veritas makes it clear just how phony Allison Grimes is. Behind the scenes, her staffers and local Democrat Party big shots think it’s pretty funny that the rube voters of Kentucky are falling for her act...

O’Keefe and his crew long ago mastered the art of releasing their exposes in stages, with some of the best stuff bottled up for the later chapters, making it tough for the mainstream media to bury their stories. Sure enough, there’s a Part 2, in which Project Veritas goes undercover at a Grimes fundraiser, in which one of her rich supporters chirps that if she can trick Kentucky voters into sending her to the Senate, she’ll wipe out the coal industry without delay: “She’s going to f**k them as soon as she gets elected.” He makes a shushing gesture to emphasize the importance of Grimes supporters keeping quiet about this until the idiot voters have been successfully bamboozled.

There’s not much Grimes can do about this, except distance herself from her own campaign staff and supporters, just like she pretends to be the mortal enemy of President Obama. As NewsBussters notes, this bombshell hit right as Grimes was pumping out a deceptive ad trying to make McConnell look like the enemy of coal in the race.
