PHILADELPHIA — Katie McGinty, the Democratic Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, referred to Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., as an “a—hole” during an event Monday ahead of the gaveling in of the Democratic National Convention just down the road.

McGinty, who was appearing at an event supporting union members, used that word to describe the incumbent Republican in an effort to support unions who are pushing to raise the minimum wage to $15, who were holding signs reading “Raise It Damnit.” She also referred to Toomey as a “cold-hearted dude” for his embrace of Wall Street while voting against raising the wage.
