Kansas governor Sam Brownback may not be the most popular man in Kansas, but when Alex Gordon re-signed with the Royals, Brownback took to Twitter to try and make a relatable reference for his citizens.
Kansas governor jokes about Alex Gordon and watches it backfire on him
Congrats, Alex Gordon! With your new contract, you'll save about $1.8M/year in taxes just by living in KS instead of CA. #GordoNation #ksleg
— Sam Brownback (@govsambrownback) January 7, 2016 It didn’t go well!
@govsambrownback Yeah, but I bet California can actually pay their state employees. And held fund state ed. They also don't have you.
— Chance Berndt (@Chance_Berndt) January 7, 2016 Okay, so it seems like at least one person isn’t as big a fan of the tax policies Brownback is touting, but surely this isn’t a resounding sentiment.
@govsambrownback he lives in Nebraska. The Royals are in Missouri, no one likes you.
— ericka (@keepingsanewth4) January 7, 2016 Ah okay, well technically that’s not so much complaining about taxes as just Brownback in general. That’s a win!
.@govsambrownback so glad that this is the last year my income tax pays your salary.
— Tanner Seidel (@tannerseidel) January 8, 2016 Maybe people just don’t like this guy?
. @govsambrownback You are the worst
— Cupcakes (@cupcakesarenice) January 7, 2016 @govsambrownback Just shut the fuck up, you evil bastard.
— Bad Chiefs Fan (@RJonesing) January 7, 2016 Okay, people definitely just don’t like this guy. Go Royals.
