KY is one of the last Red states where Democrats can win so long as they present themselves as Conservatives. Thats how this County Clerk, who is a Democrat, won the office she now occupies.
This issue scares the hell out of KY Democrats. And it’s the reason why national Democrats aren’t applying any sort of pressure on KY Democrat officeholders to take some sort of action, even symbolic action, against her.
