Protesters who hung an effigy of Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear at a rally at the state capitol have received condemnation from Republicans and Democrats.
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, “sic semper tyrannis,” which translates to “thus always to tyrants,” a phrase famously used by John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.
