From Forward Kentucky: Jamie Comer brought his dog whistle to Fancy Farm
EDITOR'S NOTE: "The labor-hater and labor-baiter is virtually always a twin-headed creature spewing anti-Negro epithets from one mouth and anti-labor propaganda from the other mouth," said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He warned, “In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone…Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights." Comer is a co-sponsor of HR 785, the National Right-to-Work Act. He has voted the union position on legislation 5 percent of the time since he's been in Congress. The Kentucky State AFL-CIO unanimously endorsed his pro-labor Democratic opponent, Paul Walker of Murray.

First District Congressman James Comer brought his dog whistle to Fancy Farm and the Republican white folks heard it loud and clear.
After bragging on President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and himself, the Tompkinsville Republican shamelessly demagogued on the biggest stage in Bluegrass State politics.
He called Washington Democrats “socialists [who are] for more welfare programs, open borders, and political correctness.”
