In 2019, Republican Daniel CameronĀ won the Kentucky Attorney General race and became the first African-American to hold the office in history.
In 2020, Ā Cameron spoke at the RNC 2020 andĀ was a huge hit claiming his place as a rising star in the RepublicanĀ Party.Ā Racist liberals immediately attacked Daniel online after his amazing speech.
Cameron recently announced his run for Governor in the state and the racist attacks continue.
On Friday, Cameron joined Newsmax to discuss a disgusting cartoon in theĀ Herald-Leader by Joel Pett which Cameron describes as āabhorrent,ā āembarrassing,ā andĀ ārace-baiting.ā
The cartoon shows Cameron, who is depicted with lightened skin, in a red āMAGAā baseball cap inside a church and speaking in front of a saying Ā ā⦠And if I were governor in a pandemic, Iād just let you die!!ā In the background, Jesus Christ, hanging from a cross with a megaphone in hand, yells, āCut!!ā
Tell me youāre a race baiter, a hater of Christians, and a mocker of faith, all in one cartoon..I present Joel Pett, Herald Leader, as exhibit A. He is nothing but a mouthpiece for the Democrat party. Shame on him and the Herald Leader for allowing this filth. https://t.co/r6umzC7vpT

This is not the first time Pett has attacked Cameron in a disturbing fashion. A prior cartoon depicted President Trump in a KKK robe with Cameron trailing behind him holding onto the tail of the robe.
This is what the @HeraldLeader āa ātolerant,ā left-leaning newspaperāthinks about black folks who dare to be Republican. Youāre a racist following the KKK unless you hate @realDonaldTrump. Letās make history on November 5th and show we donāt take orders from the elites anymore. pic.twitter.com/gjnCT4eOsg

Cameron, a Republican, said on āNational Reportā that the cartoon is āabsolutely abhorrent, itās filth ⦠it is absurd, and it is a shame and embarrassing for a large newspaper here in Kentucky to run that sort of trash.ā
Cameron said Herald-Leader cartoonist āJoel Pett has a history of doing this. When I ran for attorney general in 2019, he had a similar cartoon where he had [former President] Donald Trump in KKK garb and had me dragged behind Donald Trump. Itās absolutely ridiculous. The Herald-Leader should be ashamed of itself and they should get rid of Joel Pett.ā
Cameron added:Ā āThere are conservatives all across Kentucky that are ⦠just horrified that something like this would run in a newspaper. Not only is it race-baiting, it is also mocking Christians. You see the crucifixion occurring in the background, but as if itās some joke.ā
