Mitch McConnell’s re-election campaign has hired Nick Sandmann as grass-roots director.
“We’re excited to have Nicholas on Team Mitch. Along with our already strong team, his efforts to bring people together all across Kentucky will be critical to Senator McConnell’s victory this November,” McConnell Campaign Manager Kevin Golden told the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Sandmann broke onto the national scene after several major media outlets misrepresented an encounter between him and a Native American activist, Nathan Phillips. Nick has already settled lawsuits against the Washington Post and CNN for their coverage of his interaction with protesters in 2019, with the news outlets dolling out large payments.
