A new round of protesters are at the Capitol building to object to @GovAndyBeshear& #39;s #COVID19 restrictions.
About 36 out here plus a few driving a caravan around the building. #KYGov

Believe it or not... the protesters are upset at attorney general "David" Cameron.
I believe they mean @DanielCameronAG.
Say he isn& #39;t doing enough. #KYAG #COVID19

One of the protesters says @GovAndyBeshear might go to church but that doesn& #39;t make him a Christian. #KYGov #COVID19
The group is angry @kyoag Daniel Cameron (who they keep calling "David") hasn& #39;t filed an injunction against @GovAndyBeshear& #39;s actions.
They are discussing protesting outside Cameron& #39;s home and asking what church he attends. #KYAG #COVID19

The main speaker says it s wrong for the government to pick and choose where Americans can and cannot go.
The speaker says they have to get @DanielCameronAG mad enough at them to do something. He says he wants to take a peaceful route but doesn& #39;t want things to get violent. #KYAG #COVID19
The main speaker demands @DanielCameronAG take action to reopen the Capitol building.
"What the fuck is @RandPaul doing right now?!"
The man in the red hat, who says he founded the Grant Co. Tea Party, says he spoke with @damon_thayer about why @DanielCameronAG and others aren& #39;t doing more. #kyag #COVID19
"Grow a set of & #39;em @DanielCameronAG."
Two of the protesters approached me seeking to block me from taking pictures. The woman said she refuses to wear a mask.
Current speaker is calling out "homosexuality."
The caravan is definitely getting bigger and louder. #KYGov #COVID19

" @DanielCameronAG is a coward!"
"Muslims can go to their mosques, but that bastard @GovAndyBeshear is recording your license plates." #KYGov #COVID19
This group is definitely more militant than previous demonstrators.
They are denouncing "wicked desires" of liquor, sex and other vices.
Questioning @GovAndyBeshear and his wife& #39;s faith for being pro abortion.
"He& #39;s a child of the devil!"

. @GovAndyBeshear is speaking and I can definitely hear the protesters blowing horns and shouting. #KYGov #COVID19
. @GovAndyBeshear is speaking about social distancing rules while outside a group of demonstrators aren’t abiding by those rules for the most part and maybe one or two out of 40+ have masks. #KYGov #COVID19
. @GovAndyBeshear says people who applied for unemployment insurance in March have waited too long, “and it’s not right.”
Says he has instructed state officials to do better and get all those claims finished by the end of the week. #KYGov #COVID19

The soundproof windows are NOT working.
“WHERE’S DAVID CAMERON! WHERE’S DAVID CAMERON! WHERE’S DAVID CAMERON! WHERE’S DAVID CAMERON!”
Again. It’s Daniel Cameron who is the @kyoag. #KYGov #COVID19

. @DanielCameronAG is getting criticized as much, if not more, than @GovAndyBeshear by these right-wing demonstrators. #KYAG #Covid19
This is truly ironic given @DanielCameronAG was among the first @KYGOP officials to open up criticism of @GovAndyBeshear’s handling of #COVID19.
Five new deaths, @GovAndyBeshear says. 205 deaths in total.
Soon after chants start again..
"LET US WORK! LET US WORK! LET US WORK! LET US WORK!” #KYGov #COVID19

Can someone please tell these folks our attorney general’s name.
And wait ’til they find out he’s black!

. @GovAndyBeshear says his executive orders apply to all mass gatherings, and that Christians aren’t being singled out over Muslims despite what protesters are saying.
“These are fear tactics,” he says. #KYGov #COVID19
