The Tea Party candidate challenging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to a primary challenge has been caught in an undercover video attending a cockfighting rally last month and there is evidence that he lied repeatedly about the event.

Matt Bevin, who is seeking to wrest Kentucky’s Republican Senate nomination from McConnell, and his campaign have said they thought it was a state’s rights rally he attended in Corbin, but in the undercover video from WAVE 3 News it’s clear what the event is about with signs supporting the legalizing of cockfighting.

LOL that also reminds me of my father’s favorite Rooster. He was hugh and was a nice butterball. The Rooster could do no wrong in my father’s eyes. Until one Saturday afternoon, my father was cornered and his favorite Rooster came jumping and attaching him. My father was furious that my father came toward the house calling for my mother to get the hatchet LOL. I will say Daddy’s favorite sure tasted good with some potatoes, carrots, cabbage and some jalapeno peppers with a side dish of Mexican Rice LOL.
