The newer, larger, grander home of @GovAndyBeshear’s 5pm COVID-19 presser in the Kentucky Supreme Court chambers. Set to begin soon.
The Andy Hour has begun
so has the Supreme Court history lesson
Beshear says most of Kentucky did a good job this past weekend, but suggests Dr. Stack will play bad cop to go over who didn't do so well.
Beshear: A small percentage of people are trying to drive us apart.
Today's signage from Virginia is "love not hate"
Beshear now bringing up the effigy from Sunday.
Beshear says he has written down some of his thoughts on that.
Beshear: I owe a great duty to my kids as I become governor and live in the mansion, the first governor to do so in 30 years.
Beshear: I had many questions about my kids living in the mansion, but their own personal safety wasn't one of them until Sunday.
Beshear now recounting what the Three Percenters did on Sunday, standing on the porch with guns, "the mob chanted and heckled. Thankfully my kids weren't there that day."
Beshear: "A celebration of assassination on our Capitol grounds"
Beshear: That's an action to use intimidation to get their way. And they're far less than 3%. Calls them a radical militia groups.
Beshear calling out legislators for fanning flames with rhetoric at previous rallies and then criticizing the fire.
Beshear: You can't wait for something nasty to happen to call out the groups you openly courted earlier.
Beshear: I will not be bullied and I will not back down.
Beshear also called out the Scott Jennings column today, though not by name.
Beshear ends his passionate speech (rarely hear him speak like that) and hands off to Sec. Friedlander.
Friedlander talking about the outbreak at this Louisville nursing home now and their response to it:
Stack: I'm not here to guilt trip.... but watch this video of the extremely crowded Paddock bar in Lexington from this weekend. (This video is eye-opening, to say the least)
Beshear on that bar: "I wouldn't go there and you shouldn't go there"
Beshear: 387 new confirmed cases over the past 3 days
Beshear: 3 new deaths over the past 3 days
Beshear on effigy: 'I will not be afraid. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down' courier-journal.com/story/news/loc… via @courierjournal
Beshear says not enough people in Henderson are signing up for testing
If an armed mob with guns tries to get that close to the mansion when his family is home? "They should expect a very different response next time."

Asked if he's thought about moving out of mansion, Beshear is "not moving out of the governor's mansion. not bending to terror."
