Kentucky’s attorney general choked up about Breonna Taylor. Critics aren’t moved
LA Times“My heart breaks for the loss of Miss Taylor,” said Daniel Cameron, Kentucky’s attorney general, at a news conference Wednesday. Kentucky’s Black attorney general choked up Wednesday when explaining why a grand jury didn’t seek criminal charges against police officers for Breonna Taylor’s death — but failed to win much sympathy from critics. Cameron, 34, elected last year as the state’s first Black attorney general, is a rising star in the Republican Party and was a guest speaker at the GOP convention last month, where he declared himself a “proud Republican and supporter of President Donald J. Trump.” The president has placed the attorney general on the short list for a seat on the Supreme Court. Commenting during his convention speech on nationwide protests for racial equality and against the police shootings of Black people, Cameron remarked, “Even as anarchists mindlessly tear up American cities while attacking police and innocent bystanders, we Republicans do recognize those who work in good faith towards peace, justice, and equality.” He added that “Republicans will never turn a blind eye to unjust acts, but neither will we accept an all-out assault on Western civilization.” Lawren Taylor, a nurse educator in Baton Rouge, said Cameron “was being extremely hypocritical” in his remarks Wednesday.
