KENTUCKY: Anti-Gay County Clerk Kim Davis Attends Swearing-In Of GOP Governor Matt Bevin

Yesterday Kim Davis attended the swearing-in and inaugural parties for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin. According to the Liberty Counsel, Bevin won because of the Davis controversy. They write:

“There is no question that the case of Kim Davis and the issue of religious freedom played a role in the Governor’s lopsided win,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. “Kentuckians favor traditional values, and they are tired of the political elites represented by former Governor Beshear and Attorney General Jack Conway. The voters sided with religious liberty,” said Staver. “On the night he won the election, Gov. Bevin tweeted that he would bring ‘Christian principles to Frankfort.’ During his campaign and following his election, Gov. Bevin promised he would issue an executive order respecting the religious liberty of Kim Davis and other Kentucky clerks. We look forward to a new day in Kentucky,” concluded Staver.

Davis also reportedly attended a prayer service for the Bevin administration after the ceremony on the state capitol building steps.
