Ewwwwww....

On March 22, 2016, Governor Bentley fired Spencer Collier, the secretary of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, citing misuse of state funds under Collier. [26] Following his firing, Collier alleged that Bentley had engaged in an extramarital affair with his chief of staff, Rebekah Caldwell Mason. Collier stated in a press conference the following day that he had seen sexually-charged texts between Bentley and Mason and heard audio recordings of conversations between the two.[27] On March 23, 2016, Al.com released an audio recording purportedly created by the Bentley family in order to determine whether Gov. Bentley was engaged in an inappropriate relationship. In the recording, Bentley stated to a woman he called "Rebekah" that he "worr[ied] about loving you so much" and that "When I stand behind you, and I put my arms around you, and I put my hands on your breasts [...] and just pull you real close. I love that, too." At a press conference that day, Bentley apologized for the comments but stated that his relationship with Mason had not been sexual.[28]

“I have always believed in the Biblical definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. That definition has been deeply rooted in our society for thousands of years. Regardless of today’s ruling by the Supreme Court, I still believe in a one man and one woman definition of marriage. The people of Alabama also voted to define marriage as between a man and woman. I always respect the people’s vote, and I am disappointed that the Supreme Court has disregarded the choice made by the people of Alabama in its decision today.”

-Alabama Governor Robert Bentley 26 June 2015

This is the Governor who closed the offices in 28 mostly black counties that give out voter ID.
We are very rural in Ala. and those offices saved people from having to drive 40-60 miles to another county to get ID to vote.

Normally I don't give a shit what people do in between the sheets, but this moralizing asswipe paraded his family around in his campaign ads as the "family values conservative" who will save traditional marriage from the "social experiment" of gay marriage.

This story is just getting started. Apparently he paid "Rebekah" something around $500,000 and no one knows where that money came from. It's always the coverup that gets the asshole.

He spends his days defending the sanctity of marriage while playing hide the sausage with his aide. What a pig.
