It’s crazy Bevins lost.
Not yet!
Bevins lost solely due to Libertarians splitting the vote.
Liberaltarians (hock ptui) are idiots.
Gov. Matt Bevin was constantly at war with snowflake teachers...
....wanted to impose tolls on Kentucky roads...
...and was not a native Kentuckian.
Bevin moved there in 1999 from New Hampshire.
I’m not a Kentuckian so I had to look him up. Self made man from a poor family. Educated himself via partial rotc scholarship. Later saved the family business. Very conservative and a Christian. 11 homeschooled kids, half adopted. Rose to Captain in the Army.
In an unusual Saturday session, the Kentucky General Assembly passed seven fast-tracked bills on key Republican legislative priorities in January 2017. These bills included two that restricted abortion (one of which was a 20-week abortion ban), and three that reduced the power of labor unions, including a bill making Kentucky the 27th right-to-work state. Bevin signed all seven bills into law on January 9. On January 9, 2017, Bevin signed the two abortion bills.
On March 16, 2017, Bevin signed SB 17 into law, intended to “protect religious expression in public schools” by barring school districts from regulating student organizations in ways such as requiring them to accept LGBT people as members. Other bills Bevin signed into law included a “Blue Lives Matter” bill making it a hate crime to attack a police officer,[221][222] placing Planned Parenthood at the least priority for funding, and removing restrictions on local governments authorizing charter schools.
In April 2017, Bevin signed HB 128 into law, which ordered the Kentucky Board of Education to develop rules for Bible literacy classes. Bevin signed another bill authorizing Bible classes in June 2017.
In July 2017, Bevin had the Kentucky Capitol building cleaned, choosing to use private funds as payment. During his 2018 Kentucky State of the Commonwealth Address, Bevin said it was the first time the building had been cleaned, echoing a belief expressed in July by an administration cabinet spokesperson.
In February 2018, following the Parkland school shooting and the Marshall County High School shooting in Kentucky, Bevin declared that it was time to discuss what “should not be allowed in the United States as it relates to the things being put in the hands of our young people”. “These are quote-unquote video games ... It’s the same as pornography. They have desensitized people to the value of human life, to the dignity of women, to the dignity of human decency.” On November 13, 2018, Bevin said that a cultural popularity of death, as evidenced by zombie television shows, is to blame for mass shootings, and that gun regulation is not the solution.
In March 2018, Bevin sparked some controversy among local teachers’ associations when he criticized their protesting of a pension reform bill as “selfish and shortsighted”. In April 2018, he “guaranteed” that the teachers’ labor stoppage had resulted in unsupervised children being sexually assaulted, physically harmed, or exposed to poison and drugs.
On March 11, 2019, Bevin signed a bill into law removing the permit requirement to carry a concealed firearm in the state, becoming the 16th state to enact such legislation after South Dakota and Oklahoma had done it earlier in the year. On March 16, 2019, Bevin signed into law a bill banning abortions after the heartbeat is detected, though a federal judge blocked the bill a few hours later. On March 26, 2019, Bevin signed a bill that required public universities to protect free speech rights by banning them from disinviting speakers. On April 25, 2019, Bevin blamed teacher strikes for the death of a 7-year old. According to an April poll, Bevin is the least popular Governor in the United States, with a 52% disapproval rating versus a 33% approval rating, a 19-point gap. During the 2019 Kentucky Derby, Bevin was booed while making a speech during the trophy presentation, following the disqualification of the original race winner, Maximum Security.
On July 12, 2019, Bevin announced his support for a proposed bill to ban sanctuary cities in Kentucky.
Anti violent video game and spoke bad about zombie shows. Bet that cost him a lot of popularity. Seems like if he kept his mouth shut more, he might have been ok. Legislatively, he seems great.
Blame the Libertarians for installing a pro-abortion socialist in the Kentucky governor’s mansion.....all because Bevin would not get behind legalizing marijuana.
