Governor Calls Out Political Violence | Lexington News

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is sounding the alarm over political rhetoric after an armed man stormed a crowd at Ohio’s Canfield Fair, lunging at Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton and injuring two bystanders. The suspect, Patrick Havas, was found with firearms and brass knuckles but didn’t brandish them—still, his violent charge sent shockwaves through the event. Acton’s campaign praised law enforcement for their swift response and expressed gratitude for the public’s support. Ohio’s Republican governor Mike DeWine condemned any threat of violence at public gatherings, while Senator Mark Kelly, whose wife survived an assassination attempt, echoed that political violence has no place in society—and those responsible must be held accountable.
