Painfully White Guy Picks a Different Minority for Useless Job
No, it's not weird. It's exactly what the kind of racist who adopts black children to prove the superiority of white people does.
In 2015, African-Americans and women were "in," so he picked the unknown Jenean Hampton as his running mate. Today, it's Hispanics, so he dumps Hampton and goes for another unknown with a Mexican-sounding name.
From the Herald:
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin announced Friday afternoon that state Sen. Ralph Alvarado, R-Winchester, will be his lieutenant governor running mate as he seeks re-election in 2019, putting an end to speculation about his political plans.
When asked why he chose not to run again with Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton, the Republican said “because I chose to run with Ralph Alvarado.”
Well, that explains it.
Oh, gag.
“This is somebody who moves with a sense of urgency that I think is needed as we look forward,” Bevin said of Alvarado. “He’s a guy who has relationships and strong ones with the very constituencies that are going to be imperative as we move forward.”

Bevin described Hampton, who was the first black person elected to statewide office in Kentucky, as “a dear and personal friend,” but said Alvarado represents the American dream and aligns with what he would like to see “moving forward.”
Hispanics constitute barely 1.5 percent of Kentucky's population, and that's only if you count the migrant workers Kentucky farmers pretend aren't undocumented.
Gov. I Got Mine Fuck You is playing to a national audience here. He's gonna run for president as the repug who luuuuurrrrrvvves the blacks and the browns.
Let's see how far he gets against the likes of Kamala Harris.
