KY Democrat calls for impeachment of Tea Party Gov. Bevin after Hillary ‘bloodshed’ threat

A Kentucky Democrat running for Congress called on Tuesday for Gov. Matt Bevin (R) to be removed from office after he suggested that an armed insurrection should take place if Hillary Clinton wins the presidential election.

Rev. Nancy Jo Kemper said during a brief press conference that lawmakers from both parties should impeach Bevin “on the grounds that calling for the taking of innocent lives is a violation of the governor’s binding legal responsibility to uphold the laws of our Commonwealth, which clearly prohibit murder.”

Bevin said during an appearance at the Value Voters Conference that, while the US could “survive” if Clinton were to be elected, “At what price? The roots of the tree of liberty are watered by what? The blood, of who? The tyrants to be sure, but who else? The patriots. It may be that of those in this room. It might be that of our children and grandchildren. I have nine children. It breaks my heart to think that it might be their blood that is needed to redeem something, to reclaim something, that we through our apathy and our indifference have given away.”

Kemper, the former executive director of the Kentucky Council of Churches, called Bevin’s remarks “Unambiguously life-threatening.”

I can't stand Matt Bevin. Things were starting to look up with Steve B. But Bevin is cementing our feet in the dark ages.
He is destroying the University of Louisville. The thing is the rest of the state hates Louisville. Being a Blue City in a Red State is really frustrating.
