Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell responds to backlash over comment about Black voters

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) talks to reporters Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pushed back Friday against the uproar over a comment he made about African American voters, calling the criticism directed his way "outrageous."McConnell had been accused of racism for saying that "African American" voters cast ballots at similar rates to "Americans." The comment implied that Black voters are somehow not American and underscored the concerns of voting rights advocates that Republicans in state legislatures across the country are explicitly seeking to disenfranchise Black voters.Following a speech Friday at an annual conference in Louisville, the Republican leader said he misspoke Wednesday when he made the comment during a Washington news conference."I’ve never been accused of this sort of thing before, and it’s hurtful and offensive," he said. "And I think some of the critics know it’s totally nonsense."McConnell on Wednesday had said that "African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans." McConnell explained on Friday that he should have said the word "all" before "Americans."He also defended his record on race by noting that he attended the Rev.
