(LEXINGTON COURIER-JOURNAL) U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin took part in a rally Saturday planned to support the legalization of cockfighting in Kentucky.
Bevin’s campaign, however, described the event at the Corbin Arena in Corbin, Ky., as a “states’ rights rally,” and said that Bevin, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell in the Republican primary in May, didn’t know that it had any ties to cockfighting.
“It was not a cockfighting rally, it was a states’ rights rally,” said Rachel Semmel, a Bevin spokeswoman.
