Corrupt Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky

Tobacco's 'Special Friend': What Internal Documents Say About Mitch McConnell - NPR
An NPR review of McConnell's relationship with the tobacco industry over the decades has found that McConnell repeatedly cast doubt on the health consequences of smoking, repeated industry talking points word-for-word, attacked federal regulators at the industry's request and opposed bipartisan tobacco regulations going back decades.
