Ashley Judd sounds more like a politician every day–one with her foot planted squarely in her mouth, that is.

On the heels of her announcing she would have a campaign headquarters for her Kentucky-based run in Tennessee, she spat out this charming description of why she can handle a tough battle with incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Judd made her intentions clear at a private dinner last month at Brown’s Louisville home. Asked if she was tough enough to take on McConnell and the GOP national attack machine, Judd reportedly answered, “I have been raped twice, so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell.”
