Matt Bevin apologized Sunday for saying that children were sexually abused because they were left home alone while teachers rallied to ask lawmakers to override his vetoes. The GOP-led Kentucky House later approved a pair of resolutions condemning Bevin’s comments. Bevin apologized several times in Sunday’s video and said many people misunderstood and “did not fully appreciate” his earlier statement. Cooper voted for Bevin in 2015 and vowed Saturday not to do it again. “The teachers and public employees he has insulted over the past year deserve much more than this.”Telephone messages left with spokesmen Kentucky House Republicans and the Kentucky Education Association weren’t immediately returned Sunday.
