Democrats respond to Pence visit

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ)- The Kentucky Democratic Party has released a statement on Mike Pence’s visit to Bevin’s fundraising event.

Here is that statement:

The following is a statement from Ben Self, Kentucky Democratic Party Chair, on Vice President Pence’s visit to Kentucky today on behalf of Governor Matt Bevin:

“As the least popular Governor in the Country, it is not a surprise that Bevin would call upon his rich and powerful friends to try to help him out. After they leave Lexington today they’re off to a remote luxury resort for a secretive retreat with the American Enterprise Institute to rub elbows with some of the most powerful lobbyists in the country.

“As Governor of Indiana Mike Pence’s hateful agenda cost his state millions in lost business. He also oversaw one of the worst outbreaks of Hepatitis A in the nation as governor, just like the one we are experiencing now under Bevin. They’re two peas in a pod, and neither one of them knows what is best for Kentucky.”
