Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin Says Conservatives May Have To Turn To Physical Violence

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin Says Conservatives May Have To Turn To Physical Violence
“Whose blood will be shed? It may be that of those in this room,” Bevin said.
09/13/2016 09:20 am ET Sam Levine Associate Politics Editor, The Huffington Post

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) said on Saturday that conservatives may have to turn to physical violence to protect their values.

“I want us to be able to fight ideologically, mentally, spiritually, economically, so that we don’t have to do it physically,” Bevin said during his speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington. “But that may, in fact, be the case.”

Bevin went on to say that he believed the U.S. would survive a Hillary Clinton presidency, but it might require bloodshed.

We see what happens when conservatives stop being conservative.

Political violence occurs in all nations from time to time.

If the Kim Davis gay marriage license fiasco wasn't bad enough, our tea bagger governor calls for violence if their candidate loses in a democratic election. But they love America! Violence and guns are their answer to free elections.
By the way, for all the claims that Hillary is a liar, Bevin wouldn't reveal his tax returns during his election campaign, but said he would disclose them if elected. He then refused to do so. Honesty much? So much for our "values" governor.

major debacle

69-year-old woman punched in face outside rally by Trump supporter

WLOS — ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Police say they arrested five people at Trump's Monday night rally in Asheville, and as of publishing have warrants out for two more people. Police plan to arrest Richard Campbell of Edisto Island, South Carolina for assault on a female.

That female is 69-year-old Shirley Teeter.

She has protested her whole life. Now she adds Trump to the list of things she's protested against.

"Why did I get involved yesterday at my age? Because I ran into another situation that was sickening my heart," she said Tuesday afternoon outside Cafe 64 in downtown Asheville.
