Andy Barr still hasn't told voters why he's running -- even though he criticized all members of the military when he talked about veterans like Amy McGrath in the New York Times: “We both served our country,” Mr. Barr said. “I’ve served in a position where ideas matter."
Barr Told The New York Times “We Both Served Our Country. I’ve Served In A Position Where Ideas Matter.” “U.S. Rep. Andy Barr compared his political experience to the military service of his Democratic opponent, Amy McGrath , a 20-year Marine Corps fighter pilot who flew bombing missions against Al Queda and the Taliban. Barr, the Republican incumbent who is running for re-election in Kentucky's sixth district, made his comments in a New York Times report published Thursday. ‘We both served our country,’ Barr told the New York Times. ‘I’ve served in a position where ideas matter. My opponent has served her country in the military, where execution matters.’” [Louisville Courier Journal, 8/16/18]
