Gov. Beshear postpones State of the Commonwealth speech in wake of chaos at US Capitol

Hi, everyone. Today is a tough day for our country. Domestic terrorists have stormed and infiltrated our U. S Capitol building a building that stands for American democracy. And yes, I called them domestic terrorists. When you try to use force intimidation to get what you want to overthrow an election to stop the business of Congress, Yes, you are acting as a domestic terrorist in this attempts that bullying all over the country to get what you want. Even if elections don't allow it or the support isn't there, it is not okay today, there cannot be Democrats or Republicans. There can only be Americans, and all of us must condemn this and no uncertain terms. And anyone who doesn't you cannot fan the flames and condemn the fire. If you've been standing with and riling up militia members across this commonwealth of this country, shame on you. There is blame there for you. We've got to be better. This country has survived so much. We cannot have our leaders, any leader out there saying it's okay to attack America because this is a direct attack on America. And today's the day that we got to commit to be better to be better. Stop the silliness. Stop the anger. Stop the use of of hatred to try to push your politics. Today is the day we have to all of a sudden become statesman and states women again. This country is counting on us. If you believe in America, what you're seeing in Washington, D. C cannot be acceptable. So come on, everybody show this country and show this world You do not agree with what's happening. Thank you.
