Monster Bevins: 'Those people' play chess?

[jaF0]

Gov. Matt Bevin said in a promotional video featuring the West Louisville chess club that some people might be surprised by the connection between the club and the neighborhoods it draws children from, unleashing a barrage of criticism on social media.

"I'm going to go in and meet the members of the West Louisville Chess Club," Bevin said in the video. "Not something you necessarily would have thought of when you think of this section of town."

Bevin made his comments in a promotional video published online Tuesday. In the video, he took a tour of Nativity Academy, an independent private school in Phoenix Hill. The club often plays in locations around the city.

That can be taken multiple ways, but the left will now tell him exactly how he meant it in the hysterical whining, name calling outrage they've made famous the last couple of years.

You are one uptight poster.

Do you even have a sense of humor?

From your link:

"It's sad," Lawrence said. "It's sad that you've got a governor who is the head of our state that feels that way. Especially when he has black children."

I think it's more dumbfounding to believe that a person who ACTUALLY HAS FOUR ADOPTED BLACK CHILDREN actually does not believe them to be intellectually capable of playing chess. Even if one of them was as dumb as a box of rocks, what are the odds that the other three haven't displayed at least average if not above average academic prowess?

Once again, the political talent for sticking one's foot in one's mouth is clearly at odds with what that person, in fact, believes.
