Jimmy Kimmel Live slams Toomey for Trump inconsistency

Jimmy Kimmel singled out Republican Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey, who is running against Democrat Katie McGinty, on his late night talk show. Kimmel ran a mock ad, where Toomey discusses his views on Donald Trump.

“Let me be perfectly clear where I stand on Donald Trump,” their parody of Toomey states. “I think he’s a national embarrassment and a disgrace. A disgraceful embarrassment who I am proud to support for president of the United States.”

NRA posts new grades for Toomey, McGinty

The National Rifle Association (NRA) last week handed down its infamous grades for Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate candidates.

Republican incumbent Pat Toomey was given a “C” grade by the Second Amendment advocacy group, a downgrade from the “A” Toomey received during his 2010 Senate campaign. Toomey sponsored gun control legislation in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting.

The NRA gave Democratic challenger Katie McGinty an “F” score.

McGinty emails to be released following PA court hearing Friday

A panel of judges ruled Friday that Democratic Senate candidate Katie McGinty’s emails from her time as Gov. Wolf’s chief of staff must be released as public record.

Pennsylvania’s GOP submitted a Right-to-Know request for McGinty’s emails and work schedule from the six months she worked for the Wolf administration. The Wolf administration initially obstructed the request, releasing only 71 of as many as 15,000 emails, according to the state’s GOP.
