Right-wing activists protesting at the Kentucky state capitol ended their event with the effigy of the governor hanging from a noose in a tree.

According to Courier-Journal photographer Matt Stone, it was part of the “Patriot Day and 2nd Amendment Rally” that welcomed those with weapons in many states over the weekend.

Courier-Journal reporter Sarah Ladd captured on video the moment that the protesters decided to march from the state capitol to the governor’s residence where they could demand Beshear to come outside. Then they hung him in effigy.

“As the armed protesters stood outside Governor Beshear’s house chanting at him to come outside, his children were apparently also in the house,” reported Matt Jones of KY Sports Radio.

Maybe its time for real people to march on down to #Moscow fucking Mitch's home a let him have an earful and demand the $225,000.00 a year he's been making and bankrupting the Constitution for the last 5 years should be handed back.
He has made $1.125 million fucking these idiots for years, these fucking same dipshit's are probably going bankrupt with no job and a virus that can and will kill them............and then we can really see these ignorant's to go ballistic............maybe ignorant is to big of word for them.......lets try stupid.
I think threatening a government official is against the law and has for Frontiers Patio Bar advertisement on the woman's , maybe her phone should be held has evidence, just a thought................

Why are these governors not calling on the National Guard, or at least some swat teams, to get these people put in the right frame of mind.

If this was a crowd of armed black people, do you think for a minute that, say, the governor of Texas wouldn't be calling out the military?

We need to ask every Republican at every appearance if they support this behavior. Hold their feet to the fire they started.

Also, these people need to be doxed. When these cowards are exposed, and start losing their status and jobs, they will think twice about pulling these stunts.
