Kim Davis’ Attorney Says She’s ‘The Bravest Woman In America’
Standing in front of Kim Davis‘ supporters’ posters espousing anti-gay hate, her attorney calls her “brave.”
“Today, Kim Davis remains the bravest woman in America,” and she “is not looking to pick a fight with anyone,” an attorney for the Rowan County clerk today said at a press conference. Horatio “Harry” Mihet, the chief litigation counsel for Liberty Counsel, also told reporters that Kim Davis had changed the marriage forms so her name would not appear on them. Mihet said U.S. District Judge David Bunning was aware she had altered the forms.
