Since losing his reelection bid, former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin issued pardons to hundreds of people — including a man whose family raised over $20,000 to pay off money still owed from his 2015 gubernatorial campaign.

Scumbag

What a joke!!

morgfair pay for pardon very very cool

Bevin should be prohibited from ever assuming elected or appointed office - or from being a lobbyist to those who have been. His behavior is unconscionable.

States should disallow pardoning 1 month before an election, with no pardons if they lose. Prior governor seems a mite tacky

GOP is great, isn’t it? Sowing the seeds of corruption at all levels.

He should be held accountable for such an irresponsible act should any of these felons committ another violent crime

Were all these GOP members hiding in plain sight all this time?

What's wrong with the man doing God's work? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Obama strategy still running short.

If these people go out and commit any crimes. I would sue the shot out of Bevin... He will never be able to purchase anything. I hope he don't have kids.

Isn't accepting money for a pardon illegal?

There should be laws against this !

Good for him, giving people back their lives.

Donald trump supports this

He should free them all.

And?

Has there been a racial breakdown of those pardoned? My guess is mostly white.

The Republican counterpart of Tennessee governor Ray Blanton back in the day. Blanton pardoned a drug dealer who shot one of my patients, 18-year-old Susan Carlene Hood, as she was fleeing from him, leaving her a permanent quadriplegic.

Man, Americans need to do something about executive powers! On the other hand Trump's being impeached for basically the same thing Trudeau did before he was re-elected. cdnpoli

Hatchet piece by Pravda. Every departing executive issues pardons, and they don't please everyone.

3/3 Town in Fordsville Ky. Shooting happened in 93 in Daviess Co. which is Owensboro

Fear not! No good deed goes unpunished... MattBevin

But no immigrants here. They’re dangerous 🙄

Are ... and I’m asking this honestly ... are all the members of the GOP straight-up super villains?

2/2 election. This little town heavily Republican.

This guy needs to be indicted and sent to jail ASAP.

KY’ian here. There is also another pardoning case near me in Oboro where it appears pardon was bought. Look up Irvin Edge/Charles Westerfield. Edge hired someone to kill Westerfield-business partner. A huge fundraiser in same little town Edge is from was held just prior to

if any of them recommit a crime, I’d file a wrongful death civil suit against Bevin, like. 100s of them - drive him into financial ruin.

“These people?” It’s “this guy” nobody else did this. These sorts of blanket stereotypes are offensive and inaccurate. What’s wrong with you people?

Imagine what he would have done if he'd won!

Some, I’m sure, are good people.

What is wrong with these people, they are so blatantly and cynically wrong.

No wonder he wasn’t re-elected. The GOP is just full of these stars, aren’t they?

So typical republican then.

Follow the money.

NPR's now on the corporate teet blackballing Bernie. How sad. I lost all respect.
