| Description | SHELBYVILLE — Republican David Williams tried to stir support Tuesday by criticizing Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear for taking part in a Hindu "ground blessing" ceremony last week for a new India-based employer in Elizabethtown.
"He's there participating with Hindu priests, participating in a religious ceremony," Williams said during a campaign stop in Shelbyville. "He's sitting down there with his legs crossed, participating in Hindu prayers with a dot on his forehead with incense burning around him. I don't know what the man was thinking."
Beshear's campaign spokesman called Williams' remarks "pathetic and desperate."
"Gov. Beshear is proud that 250 new jobs are coming to Elizabethtown," campaign spokesman Matt Erwin said in a statement. |
