Kentucky State officials condemn the act of hanging a dummy of Gov. Andy Beshear effigy during a Memorial Day weekend rally, as tempers run high due to coronavirus legislation.
The effigy of Gov. Andy Beshear was hung near where the Governor, First Lady, and their two young children live, and the act"reeks of hate and intimidation and does nothing but undermine our leading work to battle this deadly disease and restore our economy safely," said House Democratic Leader Joni Jenkins, House Democratic Caucus Chair Derrick Graham and House Democratic Whip Angie Hatton said in a statement on Sunday evening.
Gun rights activists carrying semi-automatic firearms pose for a photograph in the Capitol Building on January 31, 2020 in Frankfort, Kentucky. Advocates from across the state gathered at the Kentucky Capitol in support of the Second Amendment. The rally will include speeches from Rep. Thomas Massie and former Washington, D.C. Special Police Officer, Dick Heller.
Residents were also told not to leave the state. Gov. Beshear announced the state would record the license plates of people attending Easter church services, and those found going to church would be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days. He also asked residents to wear masks in public when businesses began to reopen.
Those including museums, libraries and outdoor attractions will begin to reopen in Kentucky from June 8.
