He said Lundergan Grimes’ efforts “to convince people that women should vote for her because she’s a woman” won’t work because women and men in Kentucky care about the same issues.

As Mother Jones pointed out Tuesday, female CEOs make up just 4.8 percent of those running Fortune 500 companies and men still generally pull in higher salaries than women across most of the economy. Earlier this year, McConnell was one of 44 Republicans to vote against the Paycheck Fairness Act.
