No he didn’t support game cocks. He supported states rights. McConnell had his federal senate cronies pass a bill that was more federal overreach, an issue best left to the states.
Bevin gained the support of more than 60,000 members of the KY game cock tournament by coming out against McConnell by way of framing it as a state rights issue and in so doing locking up more than 60,000 voters. The rest of KY voters don’t care about the issue. But McConnell and the GOPe went nationwide with it trying to put Bevin the the game cock box.
If McConnell wins it, it will be because he bought it.
I think if McConnell gets past the primary, he loses in November. People really don’t like this weasel.
Thanks, That explains it.
I looked up what Bevin said about cockfighting. Here’s a researched article on the Founding Fathers and cockfighting. Bevin should learn to research what he says better. He also claims not to have known it was a cockfighting rally.
“Many” of the founding fathers were “very actively involved” in cockfighting.
I disagree. People do care about it. The fact that Bevin took that opportunity to talk about state’s rights shows he is not ready for prime time. A better candidate would have chosen a different time and place to discuss state’s rights.
