Cenk Uygur talks to Jonathan Miller, former Kentucky state treasurer,
TheRecoveringPolitician.com founder and political adviser to Ashley Judd, about
Judd’s decision not to challenge Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky Senate seat. Cenk
speculates that a smear campaign headed up by McConnell and Karl Rove may have
been the reason for Judd’s withdrawal.
“Ashley had felt empowered by the McConnell and Rove ads early on,” Miller says. “They made her feel like, if they’re attacking her this early, that’s she’s really onto something, she really does pose a threat.”
But even though Miller doesn’t believe the attacks are the main reason Judd is no longer running, Cenk is less than convinced. “They must have been [the reason she dropped out]. She was considering it, she got attacked and then she left.”
