Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin visited my WHAS Radio studio yesterday to discuss multiple allegations of wrongdoing by controversial conservative state representative Dan Johnson. The "pope" of Heart of Fire Church was accused of molesting a 17-year-old parishioner in 2012. Johnson met with media earlier in the day.

Brain pain may explain Dan’s drama
The whack-a-mole process between the Louisville Metro Council and its longest-serving member is off the radar for now. Last month, council colleagues told Dan Johnson to resign his seat or they'd remove him. Alleged sexual harassment is the elephant in the room. Democrats typically refuse to acknowledge elephants so maybe this one will fade away without further action. No one is talking about whether the mayor or five council members will launch court proceedings to remove the beleaguered official. Dan says they won't. Councilman Johnson returned to my radio studio on August 1st, the deadline imposed by his peers. Bottom line: he's not leaving...at least without a costly legal battle. AUDIO In the interview, Johnson says that the mayor won't act to remove
