Backlash extending to state leaders in Kentucky


The campaign for Andy Beshear (D) announced Monday that it had secured the endorsement of state Sen. Dan Seum (R).

[...]

"This is about who is going to lead this state in the next four years," Seum said. "Today, we have a governor who has failed miserably in the pension issue and has spent the last year running around the state insulting everyone, including the four teachers in my family."

[...]

Seum opted against endorsing Gov. Matt Bevin (R), who was elected in 2015.

[...]

Several Kentucky public schools were closed last year as teachers went on strike to protest changes to their pension system made by the legislature. Bevin was at odds with the teachers and the union that represents them, criticizing the group publicly at times.

[...]

“If Senator Seum wants to support sanctuary cities and abortion up until the moment of birth, that’s his decision to make. Governor Bevin has been endorsed by President Trump, the NRA, and Kentucky Right to Life," Davis Payne, Bevin's campaign manager, told The Hill in a statement.

That's a hell of a recommendation.  Pretty much tells you all you need to know about Bevin.

Good on Dan Seum.  Now, Ditch Mitch.
