Cockfighting Fans Swear Revenge For McConnell's Farm Bill Vote
DYLAN SCOTT – FEBRUARY 19, 2014, 6:20 PM EST
A group associated with cockfighting in Kentucky is promising political retribution against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his vote in favor of the farm bill last month, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
"This will destroy Mitch McConnell in Kentucky," Craig Davis, president of the United Gamefowl Breeders Association, told the newspaper.
The bill made attending a cockfighting event a federal misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Davis, who confronted McConnell with hundreds of other "cockfighting enthusiasts" at a Monday event, said he could move "as many as 60,000 votes" if McConnell doesn't address the issue.
