RPK Questions Beshear's Ability To Lecture Trump On Handling Civil Unrest

June 12, 2025

Frankfort, KY - Republican Party of Kentucky Communications Director Andy Westberry issued the following statement regarding Gov. Andy Beshear’s comments lecturing President Trump about the “chain of command” following the president’s decisive actions to restore law and order in Los Angeles:

“Andy Beshear whining about President Trump taking decisive action to protect a major U.S. city is comical. After his own inadequate response to violent riots and widespread looting in Louisville during the Breonna Taylor protests five years ago, how does Beshear have any moral authority to lecture President Trump on handling civil unrest - and what exactly would he do differently in Los Angeles?”
