Lunsford Finally Responds To McConnell's "Valor" Ad

It took a weekend, but Bruce Lunsford has finally responded to Sen. Mitch McConnell's latest TV ad, accusing a Lunsford company of providing poor care to veterans. Here's the statement from the Lunsford camp:

"It is despicable that Mitch McConnell would attack Bruce Lunsford for supporting our veterans. Valor was built by veterans, for veterans, and the company has garnered widespread praise - including high marks from the VA and their No Veteran Left Behind program - for providing high-quality care to 57,000 veterans across the country. Mitch McConnell is attacking veterans and being dishonest about their mission. He is desperate to hold onto his power and will say or do anything, even lie."

Lunsford has also set up a web site to try and discredit the charges in the McConnell ad.
