The following is a statement by Colmon Elridge, Chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party:
“Today, Robert Stivers did his best Matt Bevin impression, attacking the governor, judges, reporters, science, state employees, the hard working public health officials who have saved lives, and just about anyone who dares question his failed leadership. Just a few weeks after telling us he was going to get all Kentuckians vaccinated by offering them all free pizza bread, Stivers is claiming his plan has worked. It hasn’t. With at least 33 Kentucky public school employees dying of Covid so far and 62 total deaths in Kentucky just yesterday, our fight with Covid is far from over. The Republican Super Majority owns this pandemic now and they are failing the people of Kentucky.`
