GOP challenger rips Dem governor over violent crime as major police group flips support in crucial race
Fox News
Republican Kentucky Attorney General and nominee for governor Daniel Cameron slammed Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear after a major police group flipped their endorsement from the latter.
"I think the Kentucky state FOP, which is the largest law enforcement organization in the state, has shown great confidence in our campaign and our commitment to standing up for our law enforcement community, which is in contrast with Andy Beshear, who only does it when it is convenient," Cameron said.

"This governor unleashed havoc on our communities in many ways. Here's a governor that in 2020 let out 1,700 criminals from jail — and a third of those recommitted offenses in our communities," he said, referencing Beshear's early release of some inmates amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
