Statement from Kentucky Democratic Party Chair Colmon Elridge on the Republican Party of Kentucky’s vote to support the insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol and our law enforcement three years ago:
“On the anniversary of the most dangerous attack on our democracy in modern history, the Republican Party of Kentucky voted — not to condemn the violent assault on our democracy– but to support and defend those who attacked our Capitol and our law enforcement officers on January 6. After Kentuckians rejected hatred and extremism this past November, the Republican Party of Kentucky and its leaders are doubling down on hate, division, and even political violence. Kentucky Republicans, especially elected officials and candidates, should condemn this appalling and unpatriotic resolution and stand up to extremism, violence and the insurrectionists that have taken over their party.”
