Crowd rallies against Beshear, masks and vaccines on Capitol steps

Well over 100 people attended a rally Saturday in front of the state Capitol to decry COVID-19 regulations and the conduct of Gov. Andy Beshear.
People from across the region listened intently to several conservative speakers, some of whom spread unproven allegations about the COVID-19 vaccine and the results of the 2020 presidential election. Other speakers instead focused on conservative political participation and criticizing general government overreach.
The event, titled “Unmask Kentucky,” was organized before the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) significantly changed its guidelines to allow vaccinated people to go without masks outdoors and indoors and before Beshear’s recent announcement that Kentucky would end its mask mandate and capacity limits on June 11.
Still, those in attendance had a bone to pick with Beshear and his response to the pandemic.
Andrew Cooperrider, who owns a Lexington coffee shop that previously faced litigation for refusing to comply with COVID-19 restrictions and is suing Beshear for those restrictions, spoke first.
