40. She's definitely a nasty piece of work.

Politically the same really bad cloth as her husband, but it's almost funny how awful they are. The church he copastered for 30 years, The Heart of Fire Church, didn't pay its bills, repeatedly sold illegal alcohol, no doubt many other unsavory details. In rural KY she was paid $60k a year for work as a paster's wife but evaded taxes and lied under oath to claim she was paid $10k and less. Lol.

Kentucky Center for investigative Reporting:

"Similarities between Rebecca Johnson and her late husband are not limited to their political agendas. She too has made misleading statements from time to time. And prior to announcing her candidacy, she too expressed right-wing, racist, homophobic views on Facebook, raising alarm about transgender women using women’s bathrooms, Muslims, Barack Obama and immigrants, among others."

"In recent years, she’s posted photos and memes making light of domestic violence and drug use, and endorsing secession. She also used profanity while disparaging refugees and pushed for legislation to prohibit Sharia law in Kentucky in a September 2015 post."

Their article said voters would choose between "polar opposites."

NYMag:

"As for Johnson, she blamed her lost on voter fraud, though state officials said they have not received any complaints.

“I’ve heard from and about people all day long saying they went to vote for me at the correct polling place and were refused the opportunity to vote,” she said. “It’s like we’re in a third world country.”

Johnson has already filed to run in the May GOP primary. If she wins, she would face Belcher again in the general election.
