It’s hardly a one-time thing. Kehoe came up through a rich Catholic School, owned an auto dealership, became a bagman within the State Senate, and eventually climbed up to the governor’s mansion by iteratively taking bribes and doing favors over the last 30 years.
Where do you think he raised the $13M war chest to run for governor in the first place? He’ll never stop supporting these reactionaries because he never wants them to stop shoveling money into his pockets. And if he wants to continue climbing? (And every governor secretly has an eye on the White House) He’s going to need those millions to become billions. That means he’s got to prove his loyalty. Go above and beyond. Really stand out as the kind of guy who will shove a few thousand babies into a wood chipper if his bosses demand it of him.
