Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron Says it was “Disgusting” For Megan thee stallion to call him out during “SNL” Performance
Megan Thee Stallion has been using her platform to shed light on Breonna Taylor’s case and to help bring justice to her family. Over the weekend, she performed as the musical guest on the season premiere of “SNL,” and during her set, she included a big message to Breonna Taylor case prosecutor Daniel Cameron.
About halfway through her performance, the sounds of gunshots rang out and Megan Thee Stallion and her dancers paused as audio recording from Malcolm X’s 1962 speech “Who Taught You to Hate Yourself?” played in the background. “We need to protect our Black women and love our Black women,” she said. Then there was an audio clip of activist Tamika Mallory saying, “Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout Negroes that sold our people into slavery.”
Cameron, who did not seek charges against officers in Breonna Taylor’s shooting, caught wind of the clip and is now speaking out to respond to her performance. He went on Fox News’ Fox & Friends and said: “Let me just say that I agree that we need to love and protect our Black women,” he began. “There’s no question about that. But the fact that someone would get on national television and make disparaging comments about me because I’m simply trying to do my job is disgusting … because I’m a Black Republican because I stand up for truth and justice as opposed to giving in to a mob mentality.”
He added,
“The fact that a celebrity that I never met before wants to make those sorts of statements, they don’t hurt me but what it does is it exposed the type of intolerance, and the hypocrisy because obviously, people preach about being intolerant,” he continued. “You hear a lot of that from the left about being tolerant. But what you saw there is inconsistent with tolerance. In fact, it’s her disposing intolerance because I’ve decided to stand up for truth and justice.”
Cameron went on say that the officers who fatally shot Taylor in her own home, were justified in returning fire because Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had fired a warning shot.
“The tragedy, and I’ve said this from the beginning, was that Breonna Taylor was in that hallway next to Kenneth Walker when they returned fire and they hit her,” he said. “No one disputes that this is a tragedy, but sometimes our criminal law is inadequate to respond to a tragedy. Again, my heart goes out to Breonna Taylor’s family.”
