« I mean, what happens to America? » he said. « We’re getting soft. »
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin called out all of the “snowflakes” in the midwest for closing school as record-breaking temperatures plague the region. On a radio show in Louisville, the Republican said that he is concerned that young people won’t learn that life is hard if we allow them to hide out in a warm place while the polar vortex plunges temps into arctic range.
“I mean, what happens to America?” he said. “We’re getting soft.”
The show’s host Terry Meiners challenged Bevin, saying that this type of freezing weather is “serious.” Bevin dismissed the idea, saying “come on, now.”
“There’s no ice going with it, or any snow,” he said.
Later, he said that he was being partially facetious, but he then reiterated his feelings.
“But it does concern me a little bit that in America — on this and any number of other fronts — we’re sending messages to our young people that if life is hard, you can curl up in the fetal position somewhere in a warm place and just wait until it stops being hard,” he said.
