        Am I the only one who’s tired of all these post fuck up apologies? Is this the whole “ask for forgiveness, not permission” bullshit that is trying to be pushed down our collective throats? Do the right thing in the beginning and you won’t have to lie about how you really feel.

        He needs to apologize to the teachers he maligned. And to the parents he maligned. Then he needs to be voted out of office. He’s a sicko. #VoteHimOut

        I'm getting REAL tired of all of these half-assed apologies after the fact. Don't THINK this stuff; don't SAY this stuff -- but then again, hard to do when this is exactly who you ARE.

        Basically, you aren't sorry for what you said, but are "apologizing for those who have been hurt?" Obviously, this guy didn't pass an English class. You mean apologize TO those who have been hurt by what you said. 🙄

        Why doesn't he apologize for maligning the entire (underpaid, but dedicated) teaching profession in his state?

        This guy has no idea how to apologize, does he? Unless he purposely made it a non-apologetic apology because he's really *not* sorry...

        That isn't an apology @MattBevin. That's a "Sorry you're too stupid to understand what I meant and got offended." You're a failure & your leadership is trash. It's no wonder that the great State of Kentucky is such a mess. @SenateMajLdr aided in that, of course.

        The “were said” things prove this man doesn’t get it. He is not taking responsibility— it’s as if they were said by another entity.

        You knew what you were saying, and also what you were implying. Paying your teachers a living wage and properly funding your states's educational needs would also keep your KY's children from being hurt, but you know that...you just refuse to do so.

        In light of his bizarre comments, the authorities may want to look into Bevin's basement.
