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.

Deplorables.

Guess we know which state needs to be cleared of Yallkadia first.

It is not surprising that Lee Greenwood's song is being played in the background. That song has become the anthem of the radical, racist right TheLeeGreenwood

UnAmerican pre-teens who never took (or never passed) US history.

What's good for the goose etc....

Goddamn southern white trash! And kids were there! America....this is nothing to be proud of. These people shame us. Oh America. The hate is killing you.

There is no justification for appalling behavior. It must be the Kentucky whiskey in action. What I see are walking virus carrying guns.

Wow! This is 2020 and Trump has taken USA back 💯 years!!!

Nazi Kentucky

piersmorgan KatiePavlich soledadobrien One of these days one of these crazy people is going to do something very unpleasant

Only a matter of time before one of these people shoots up a public building with people in it. civilwar

Let me know when they shoot a coronavirus!

Get those MILITANTS!!!!!!

They all need to be drafted in the military and sent straight Afghanistan if they want to play solger.

Some people are still stuck in the dark ages. Worst thing is that they feel empowered by the cheeto in charge. Whoever thought this up, as well as anyone that was part of the 'hanging' should be in jail right now.

The media loves to cover these effigies. It's no wonder that people use them to get publicity for their cause.

They got the idea from Leftist hanging Trump effigy.

Mob mentality thugs threatening an elected official

These people do the 2nd amendment no favor. People who want gun control see irresponsible gun owners as a major part of the problem w the 2nd. This protest just reinforces their belief by being loud irresponsible gun owners in public.

Federal court backs California Gov. Gavin Newsom's orders keeping churches closedA federal appeals court has backed California Gov. Gavin Newsom's stay-at-home order banning in-church services to blunt the spread of coronavirus. I can see the issues on both sides. But I mean whats the Issue as long as they make sure the 6 feet rule and all have mask on? Everything else is open for that reason now GOD WILL PREVAIL NO MATTER HOW MANY HEATHENS FIGHT AGAINST IT. That’s good news! The country is doing well but needs to persevere...large groups at church would most likely send the states in a backward direction, with spikes in number of cases. Soon enough, if we are diligent, church buildings will be open again!
