Al Roker to Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin: You're a 'nitwit' over school closings
"Today" weatherman Al Roker didn't appreciate Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin accusing America's kids of being "soft" during this cold snap.
"I have to say this nitwit governor in Kentucky saying that, 'Oh, we're weak,'" Roker said Wednesday on "MSNBC Live with Craig Melvin." "These are kids who are going to be in sub-zero wind chills. No. Cancel school. Stop it. Adults, if they want to be out there, that's great. These are our children. I'm glad you're not a teacher."
Bevin had bemoaned "soft" American kids during a radio interview Tuesday and what he believed was a knee-jerk reaction to closing Kentucky schools because of the weather. It was 4 degrees in Lexington just after noon Wednesday.
