U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin (R) took part in a rally planned to support the legalization of cockfighting in Kentucky, the Louisville Courier Journal reports.
Bevin’s campaign, however, described the event 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.
