Kentucky GOP Candidate Responds to Rape Survivor Who Called Him Out. It Didn’t Go Well. (recentlyheard.com)

Kentucky attorney general and gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron (R) attempted to express sympathy this week for a rape survivor who called him out for his stance on exceptions to abortion bans in a TV ad for his opponent. (Cameron does not support adding them to the state’s near-total ban.) But Cameron’s attempt to sound caring was quickly overshadowed when he said his plan to address people pregnant from rape is to simply keep abortion banned but jail the rapists. The survivor then slammed Cameron again in comments to a reporter.

Seems like it went well for the guy. He was able to effectively ignore the question and pretend like he cares about rape victims.

His supporters also don't care about rape victims. This guy is a piece of shit, and his supporters are also pieces of shit. And in Kentucky, pieces of shit elect pieces of shit. So in what way is it not going well for him?
