Kentucky’s biggest bully Daniel Cameron is trying to apologize for demonizing educators, AG candidates are saying things that show how unfit they are for office, and there are some new ads out in the Mississippi governor’s race — this is the state of the states.

#KYGov

Daniel Cameron spent the week apologizing to teachers for the GOP putting a target on their back; Cameron has spent his campaign demonizing teachers to the point that the education commissioner resigned. And Freedom Fest — the annual event held by perpetual Republican candidate Eric Deters — is apparently back on after Trump agreed to provide a video recording. Cameron was bullied out of the event by Rep. Thomas Massie after stories of Deters’ racist rhetoric came to light — Cameron blamed his “schedule” for dropping out of the event.
