KY Democratic Party: Governor’s video is misleading

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Kentucky Democratic Party says Governor Matt Bevin’s new Facebook video is misleading.

The video shows Bevin from the empty House floor in Frankfort. The governor notes that it’s just after 11:00 a.m. Monday. He criticizes House members for not being chambers doing the job they were elected to do and are paid to do.

The legislative calendar shows the House wasn’t scheduled to convene until 4:00 p.m. Lawmakers spent the morning in committee meetings.

“Either Gov. Matt Bevin doesn’t know how the process works, or he was trying to distort the truth and mislead people with his video today on social media,” said Rep. Sannie Overly, chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party. “While Gov. Bevin was trying to be the star of his own phony reality show at the wrong place, House lawmakers were heading to work in the Capitol Annex, where committee meetings happen every day during session.”
