"Sit Next to Kim Davis," the Twitter account from the person who allegedly sits next to Kim Davis, the anti-gay Kentucky clerk who went to jail rather than serve marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has offered up some of the best satire the Internet has experienced in years since it was created last week. And now that she’s been released from jail and is headed back to her post in Rowan County, the satirical site has fired another set of hilariously on-point tweets.
This morning a federal judge ordered that Davis, a freshly anointed martyr for conservative, anti-gay types be released from jail at the Carter County Detention Center in Grayson, KY after a five-day stay. Davis’ supporters had been planning a rally for the moment of her release for days, some even camping out in solidarity, according to WHAS News.
Among the conservative luminaries on hand to greet Davis was GOP Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee, who proclaimed, “Kim Davis is free” to supporters at what’s been dubbed the “I’m with Kim Liberty Rally.”
Once she's back at her post Davis is not allowed to interfere with the issuance of marriage licenses for same-sex couples, but she doesn’t actually have to issue them herself, per the Judge’s orders, according to NPR.
@nexttokimdavis wasted no time in coming up with the following Tweets that really get to the heart of the absurdity around the entire situation, including the rally and the fact that she doesn’t really have to do her job.
