'The fact that someone would get on national television and make disparaging comments about me because I'm simply trying to do my job is disgusting,' Daniel Cameron said.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron responded Tuesday to critics, including rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who slammed him during a recent performance on"Saturday Night Live" over his handling of the Breonna Taylor case, saying it exposes their intolerance and hypocrisy.
"There's no question about that," he said."But the fact that someone would get on national television and make disparaging comments about me because I'm simply trying to do my job is disgusting.""At the end of the day, my responsibility is to provide facts and truth and represent and stand up for justice," he said.
"Again, it is a tragedy what happened to her but what you saw on the screen there and what your viewers saw is something that I've had to experience because I'm a Black Republican, because I stand up for truth and justice as opposed to giving in to a mob mentality," Cameron said."And those are the sorts of things that will be hurled at me in this job."
"You see a lot of that from the left about being tolerant," he said."But what you saw there is inconsistent with tolerance. In fact, it's her espousing intolerance because I've decided to stand up for truth and justice." Cameron was also asked Tuesday about an open letter addressed to him that was written by civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and the two other lawyers representing Taylor’s family. Crump has represented the families of many Black people killed by police.
Crump tweeted Tuesday afternoon:"We wouldn't need the 'Ben Crump Playbook' if @KYOAG pursued justice for Breonna Taylor in the first place. Now step aside and let someone do the job you FAILED to do. #JusticeForBre."
