Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has responded to Megan Thee Stallion's powerful Saturday Night Live performance this past weekend. During the performance, Megan played audio of Tamika Mallory at a press conference after the Breonna Taylor verdict, where she said, “Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout negroes that sold our people into slavery.” Megan later said, “We need to protect our Black women and love our Black women.”
During an interview with Fox News, Cameron spoke on the backlash he received for the decision and was asked about Megan's performance. He said, “Let me just say that I agree that we need to love and protect our Black women. 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.”
He continued, “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. 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 also called out civil rights attorney Ben Crump, saying, “This is the Ben Crump model. He goes into a city, creating a narrative, cherry-picks facts to prove that narrative, creates chaos in a community, misrepresents the facts, and then he leaves with his money and asks the community to pick up the pieces.”
