From The Lexington Herald-Leader: ‘This nitwit governor.’ Al Roker calls out Matt Bevin over ‘soft’ comment on cold, schools.
By MIKE STUNSON
Count NBC meteorologist Al Roker among those who was not happy with comments Gov. Matt Bevin made Tuesday.
In an interview with WHAS radio host Terri Meiners, Bevin said canceling schools for cold weather is an indication that “we’re getting soft.”
Schools and universities closed throughout the state Wednesday due to extreme cold. Wind chills reached minus-20 degrees today in parts of Kentucky Wednesday, which led Roker to speak his mind about Bevin’s comments Wednesday morning on MSNBC and NBC’s ‘Today.’
