FIRST IN SCORE – KANDER MEMO HITS BLUNT ON NATIONAL SECURITY

Mo. Demo Jason Kander’s campaign is out with a memo attacking GOP Sen. Roy Blunt as insufficiently attentive to national security concerns. “Senator Blunt talks tough on national security, but his record tells a different story,” the memo’s intro reads. “Whether it’s opposing important national security tools, supporting programs that weaken those efforts, or just missing votes altogether, Senator Blunt time and time again has shown that his words are stronger than his actions.”
