Wednesday in an interview with Birmingham NBC affiliate WVTM, Gov. Kay Ivey (R-AL) denied being gay in response to a tweet from Rep. Patricia Todd (D-Birmingham) posted a night earlier.
A spokesman for Ivey immediately responded with a statement and called it “a disgusting lie being pushed by a paid liberal political hack.”
She elaborated on that statement in the interview with WVTM’s Jeff Eliasoph that aired on WVTM on Wednesday afternoon.
Watch the interview below:
“This most recent personal attack against me is beyond disgraceful,” Ivey said. “It’s a disgusting lie being pushed by a paid left-wing liberal political operative. There is absolutely no truth to it. It’s false. It’s wrong. It’s a bald-faced lie. And I’m not going to let them get away with it. Whether these attacks are malicious or ignorant or both – they represent everything that’s wrong with politics today.”
