Kentucky Governor blames zombies for shooting in America – Rolling Stone

The Kentucky Republican governor, Matt Bevin, has a unique view of the subject of mass shootings in America. The lack of gun regulations is not to blame, the problem is … zombies?

Bevin told Leland Conway, host of a conservative radio show this week, that American culture rewards and celebrates death, and that brain-thirsty monsters are invading the minds of our country's young people. Louisville Courier Journal reported.

"What is the most popular topic that seems to concern all cable television networks?" "TV shows are all about, what? Undead! I do not understand … that's who we are," he said. said Bevin.

Of course, zombies are a problem according to Bevin, but do not forget about abortion: "When a culture is surrounded by, it is flooded with rewards, it rewards things that celebrate death, it's all about zombies in TV shows, the number of abortions … a thousand justifications for which we do that. "

Unhappy with Bevin's accusation, Tony Moore, one of the creators of The dead who walk cartoons and the international television program, wrote an editorial in the Louisville Mail Journal respond to the governor's remarks. "Bevin's words describe the fandom as a degenerate sensitivity, when I've never known anything but their kindness and generosity."

Moore, a Kentucky native, did not beat Bevin for encouraging violence during the 2016 campaign. "This attack comes from the same governor, Bevin, who has shouted that modern American conservatism may have to be protected by genuine bloodshed … This implies that under a liberal administration, it might be necessary to unleash a new civil war, a literal literal insurrection assassinating Americans. to protect his political ideology. "

Moore was referring to Bevin's comment that if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, he said:

"Someone asked me yesterday, I did an interview. "Do you think it's possible that, if Hillary Clinton wins the election, do you think it's possible to survive, that we can ever recover as a country?" stood on that stage and said we would not do it, please delay. I think it would be possible, but at what cost? At what price? The roots of the tree of freedom are watered by what? Whose blood? Tyrants, of course, but who else? The patriots. "

"To whom will the blood be shed?" He continued, "It may be those who are in this room. It could be our children's and grandchildren's. I have nine children It breaks my heart to think that it is perhaps their blood that is needed to redeem something, to recover something that we, through our apathy and indifference, have given up. Do not let this happen. "

So death is acceptable to Bevin – even if he has to sacrifice his own children – as long as it serves his conservative ideals. But once we put zombies on TV, the bridge is too far away.
