Mitch McConnell: “I will fight to the death, no new taxes.”

When I first attended forty-two years ago, Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican.

There’s no place I’d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton.

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.

And I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.
