"About 100 gun rights protesters who congregated at the Kentucky State Capitol on Memorial Day weekend were condemned by both democrats and republicans for hanging an effigy of Gov. Andy Beshear from a tree.

The rally, organized on Facebook by the Take Back Kentucky group, was created "to celebrate freedom and fight back against the unconstitutional shutdown over the Coronavirus."

A model dressed in a blue shirt, white pants, gloves, shoes and a photo of Gov. Andy Beshear hung with the words "sic semper tyrannis." The phrase, Latin for "thus always to tyrants," was the same phrase John Wilkes Booth allegedly shouted before assassinating President Abraham Lincoln."
