McConnell says Bevin's last-minute pardons of violent criminals 'completely inappropriate': 'Honestly, I don't approve'

Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell voiced his disapproval of former Kentucky governor Matt Bevins' pardons of criminals, calling it"completely inappropriate," according to theAfter Bevin conceded a hotly contested race for office against Democratic opponent Andy Beshear, Bevin pardoned hundreds of people during the last few days of his governorship, including convicted murderers.

Included in Bevin's list of over 400 pardons was Micah Schoettle who was sentenced to 23 years in prison after raping a nine-year-old child. Bevin absolved Schoettle of his crimes by saying in the pardon and commutation that the case was"not supported by any physical evidence." Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers called for an investigation into Bevin's pardons, asking the U.S. Attorney General's office to get involved.

Resign

Completely laughable. One would have to have compassion in order for that to be true.

I’m shocked

well, where else did he get the idea but from your unhinged boss realDonaldTrump

Nobody cares about your opinion anymore CocaineMitch

With as many as 400 being released, the odds of many of them being recidivests is pretty high. It will not bode well, when some of them victimize more innocent lives.

Trumps pardons of war criminals is apparently a-ok with mcconnell

senatemajldr if you don’t approve Then do the right thing reverse these awful decisions, victims at the hand of these attacks deserve justice.

except McConnell is all in for not trying Trump 4 his alleged high crimes against the Constitution. What is w/ GOP siding w/ criminals as long as criminals are wealthy donors vs us regular folk? What happened to equality under law GOP? SenateGOP MattBevin LivePDNation

Nobody cares what MoscowMitch says but his superiors!

senatemajldr you are completely inappropriate!

Creep

Why not. You already said your letting the criminal president off without punishment.

Pardons a guy who raped a 9 year old.

Well ass wipe he IS one of yours, a Trump supporter and by the way, there are a hell of a lot of things you have done we do not approve of

senatemajldr realDonaldTrump wait until Donald time comes. Oh btw, didn’t he pardon WAR CRIMINALS the other day?

we don't approve of your accepting money from Russia to turn your back on Americans & ethics either

But senatemajldr you approve of Trump. Truth, Bevin is Trump and Trump is Bevin.

Hope that man strokes put

He lies.

When did MoscowMitch become so principled!?

We don’t approve of him being speaker either.

senatemajldr We don’t approve of his collusion with WH on impeachment. DerelictionOfDuty VoteOutGOPComplicit

ken_crichlow 'Honestly' ? Since when did honesty become a part of senatemajldr 's character?

When you have to say you’re speaking “Honestly”... you pretty much confirm that that’s not your normal behavior...

One of your boys there, McConnell.

Easy to say this when you know your response holds no ramifications. Hes spineless as hell

DumpTrump2020 DitchMitch2020 VoteBlue2020

But criminal president OK

Really, he's against this? As he should be. But perversely holding our democracy hostage is okay with him.

How about KY ousting McConnell and for once voting for their own best interests?
