Protesters who hung an effigy of Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear at a rally at the state capitol have received condemnation from Republicans and Democrats.<\/p>\n

As a Second Amendment rally was being held on May 24 outside the Kentucky state Capitol in Frankfort, a group of protesters hung the effigy on a nearby tree. A sign on the effigy read, \u201csic semper tyrannis,\u201d which translates to \u201cthus always to tyrants,\u201d a phrase famously used by John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, a Republican, joined the Democrats to denounce the disturbing incident.<\/p>\n

Adams<\/a> denounced the activities as \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe words of John Wilkes Booth have no place in the Party of Lincoln,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Its unclear if the people who hung the effigy are with an organization and whether the hanging was a planned part of the rally.<\/p>\n

Take Back Kentucky, one of the organizers of the rally, said in a Facebook post on May 22 that the rally is \u201cto celebrate freedom, and to fight back against the unconstitutional shutdown over Coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beshear<\/a> ordered most businesses to close in March. On May 7, he said that some businesses can reopen gradually starting May 22 with resRead More From Source<\/a>
