LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- The Democratic nominee for Kentucky agriculture commissioner, Bob Farmer, is apologizing for jokes he made about eastern Kentucky during a comedy performance several years ago.
Republican demanded the apology, and Kentucky Republican Party Chairman Steve Robertson said without it, the Democratic Party would lose credibility, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Farmer said he didn't want to offend anyone. He said he has done the comedy routine for nearly 25 years and no one has ever complained.
In a video clip posted by Farmer's Republican opponent, state Rep. Jamie Comer of Tompkinsville, Farmer jokes that eastern Kentucky is a place where "cars are on blocks and houses are on wheels" and said people in the region don't trust him because he has shoes on and has all his teeth.
