Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager is Jesse Benton. Benton worked for the radical right Rand Paul’s successful senate Senate bid and now seems to not think much of his Boss. A recording of a conversation between Benton and a conservative activist surfaced:
(QUIZ: How well do you know Mitch McConnell?)
“Between you and me, I’m sort of holding my nose for two years because what we’re doing here is 
going to be a big benefit to Rand in ’16, so that’s my long vision,” Benton said in the recording.
In comments quited at Politico, Bennet tries to explain: “(I was) talking to a hard-core Ron Paul supporter that, I guess they don’t quite understand what we’re trying to build here,” “It was just so dumb. I don’t feel that way at all,” “I apologized from the bottom of my heart, [and] I told him it’s not what I believe [and] that I am here because I believe in him.”
Benton denounced the recording and release of the phone conversation as “truly sick” and called his own role as McConnel’s ampaign manager “one of the great honors of my life.” In the Friday interview, he is set to call the remarks “stupid.”.html#ixzz2bWSKRJ4c
