Internet rips 'criminally ignorant' Kim Davis for seeking re-election to a job she 'refuses to perform'

Kim Davis, the infamous court clerk in Frankfurt, Kentucky who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples, is seeking re-election in 2018.

As the Associated Press reports, Davis intends to file for re-election during the filing period that begins tomorrow.

Naturally, Twitter jumped on the news -- and had a lot to say about her revival.

"Kim Davis is trending and it reminded me of one of my all-time fav tweets," user Brendan Scannell wrote, linking to a 2015 tweet that read "Kim Davis is like if a floor-length jean skirt were a person."

Others pointed out the hypocrisy in Davis becoming a conservative hero for protesting at work while Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players are demonized by those same right-wingers for doing so.

"Colin Kaepernick: Protests in workplace seeking equality, blacklisted," comedian Richard Jeter tweeted. "Kim Davis: Protests in workplace against equality, seeking re-election."

"If you cannot do your job, you should not be re-elected to do that job," user Alex Palombo wrote. "Kim Davis cannot do her job."
