Protesters recently hanged the effigy of Kentucky Governor Any Beshear as they chanted outside the governor’s house. This has initially started as a celebration of Second Amendment.
At least 100 people participated in the event which happened on Sunday. The protesters were against the coronavirus restrictions.
The protesters had guns and waved the “don’t tread on me” flags. They also protect the existing legal hurdles which make it hard to protest against corruption.
“Grown men have been hiding in (their) homes nearly wetting their pants over this invisible enemy that nobody sees. Where is it at? Let it come out and face us. I serve the one true and living God who conquers all enemies. Why should we give our freedom and our liberties up for such fear (and) propaganda and all the garbage that is coming out of Frankfort today?”
At the end of the rally, the orginizers led some of the protesters to the governor’s massion to try to hand in their request for Gov. Beshear to resign.
Protesters carried signs written “Abort Beshear from office”; “My rights don’t end where your fear begins,” and shouted ”Resign Andy”
No one came to the door to listen to the protesters. The protesters returned to the Capital where already Andy’s effigy was hunging from a tree. In the background “God Bless the U.S.A.” was played.
People took photos of the effigy hanging from the tree and then it was cut to the ground.
Michael Adams, Kenturkey Secretary of State, a Republican, termed the effigy as “disgusting.”
“I condemn it wholeheartedly,” the Secretary of State wrote on Twitter.
