The contrast could not have been more striking: Cameron with smear after smear, and Beshear with accomplishment after accomplishment.

Republican Attorney Gen. Daniel Cameron added a hefty helping of rhetorical red meat to the bill of fare at the Fancy Farm picnic.
In his stump speech, he claimed that Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, the guy whose job he wants, appeases “woke radicals” and cozies “with anti-Christian hate groups.” Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear are deacons at Beargrass Christian Church in Louisville.
Beshear followed Cameron to the podium and replied with kinder, gentler jabs. He spent much of his allotted time stressing his leadership in guiding Kentucky through catastrophic tornado and flood emergencies at opposite ends of the state. He also pointed to “record economic development right here in western Kentucky” and to “our lowest annual unemployment rate in in history.”
