Matt Bevin Went To A Pro-Cockfighting Rally

The conservative challenger to Sen. Mitch McConnell has said he didn’t realize the event was to support cockfighting “activists” — even though he indicated he opposed federal criminalization of the practice.

Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Matt Bevin told 700 cockfighting activists that he opposes efforts to “criminalize” the state’s “heritage” by the federal government during a rally protesting federal efforts to make it a felony to attend the brutal sport.

3. I think the country has enough federal felonies already, thank you.

A Congress that manages to pass a federal cockfighting law is a Congress that doesn't have much serious work to do.
