“I never faced racism or discrimination growing up or working in Kentucky until I decided to stand up to the national Democratic establishment.

“You don’t want to talk about the substance of the ad, he wanted to talk about Uncle Daniel Cameron. And technically we didn’t call him Uncle Tom, did we? To actually do that would probably be more of a insult to the real Uncle Tom,” Albright said when discussing Cameron’s criticism.

“It’s been issue after issue after issue where he has shown himself to be just as threatening to the black community as fervent white supremacists.

“Daniel Cameron is championing the views of a traditional conservative Republican. It’s disgusting that anyone would compare mainstream Republican views to white supremacy.

“This kind of irresponsible language is an insult to anyone of conservative thinking in the state,” he added.
The election between Cameron and Beshear will take place on Tuesday, November 7.
