Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell visited an Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday to put pressure on the Energy Department to save jobs in Kentucky.

The Republican leader pressed Energy Secretary Steven Chu to save a uranium enrichment facility in western Kentucky run by USEC Inc. that does contract work for the federal government. USEC is looking to expand its business with the agency through a $2 billion loan guarantee for a new facility in Piketon, Ohio, but its application stalled before the DOE.

Repeat after me..... Hypocrite.
