Internet mocks Trump for big Kentucky loss with #ByeByeBevin: ‘This is where you pretend you never met Bevin’
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is not having a good election night. After President Donald Trump went to the state and begged with his supporters to vote for Bevin so he could avoid humiliation, Bevin still isn’t winning, with 99 percent reporting and the Associated Press and NBC have called the race for Andy Beshear.
Tuesday Matt Bevin losing “sends a really bad message,” said Trump. He then pleaded with his fans, “you can’t let that happen to me!”

In the words of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, “That just happened to you.”
Trump won Kentucky by 30 points in 2016, it was one of his top five states.
It prompted many to take to Twitter with the hashtag #ByeByeBevin.
You can see the best tweets below:
R’s are saying that Bevin’s loss doesn’t matter because he was a singularly arrogant executive who picked stupid fights that alienated suburban voters. Oh. I guess that has no applicability to 2020 then. Hmmm. Also, pls explain Virginia.

A year ago, we made this shirt. Then we saw our new governor-elect @AndyBeshearKY wear it all over Kentucky. We think he’ll make good on his promise to defend public education, but if not, we’re going to remind him. A lot. Thanks, Andy, and good luck! #ByeByeBevin #kyelect pic.twitter.com/9H58ip6GUj

As happy as I am that Andy Beshear, and the people of Kentucky, won tonight; I'm just as happy about how sick Mitch McConnell and Trump are over these results.
Not only did Republicans lose but turnout was HUGE which never bodes well for them. 😏#KYGov #ByeByeBevin

Republicans won every other race, don't get carried away. But this is a huge burning pile of poo at Drumpf's doorstep.

Woman allegedly involved in Central Park scandal placed on leave from job: ‘We do not condone racism’
Video circulated on social media on Memorial Day of a woman in Central Park claiming she was calling 911 to falsely claim an "African-American man" was threatening her life.
It reportedly started after he filmed her walking her dog without a leash.
https://twitter.com/melodyMcooper/status/1264965252866641920
Internet sleuths worked to identify the woman. During the day on Monday, rumors of her identity spread online.
With cat photos and sometimes scathing irony, Mathieu Rebeaud, a Swiss-based researcher in biochemistry, has nearly tripled his Twitter following since the coronavirus pandemic began.
With 14,000 followers, he posts almost daily, giving explanations on the latest scientific research and, in particular, aims to fight misinformation that spreads as fast as the virus itself.
He is among a growing number of doctors, academics and institutions who in recent weeks have adapted and amplified their scientific messaging in hopes of countering what has been termed an infodemic -- a deluge of information, including widespread false claims, which experts say can pose a serious threat to public health.

Ted Cruz doesn’t want people shamed with body bags for going to beach: ‘Please stop the hate’
In early May, Florida attorney Daniel Uhlfelder made news by dressing up as the Grim Reaper in an attempt to scare people from crowding beaches during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Days later, he escalated by laying out body bags on the steps of the Florida capitol building in Tallahassee.
He escalated further on Saturday by announcing he would be handing out body bags to Florida beachgoers and started a fundraiser with the funds going to two progressive Political Action Committees.

The effort caught the eye of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
