David Williams Accuses Steve Beshear Of Lying About Events Surrounding POTUS Barack Obama's Visit To Fort Campbell.
Williams accuses Beshear of misleading reporters
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Republican David Williams is accusing Gov. Steve Beshear of misleading reporters about his reason for not attending an event at Fort Campbell with President Barack Obama.
A Beshear staffer said he had other obligations that prevented him from joining Obama at the Army base in May. But internal emails obtained by The Associated Press showed that Obama hadn't invited Beshear along.
Williams, who is running against Beshear in the general election, said in a statement Wednesday that Beshear "has been caught lying." The Beshear campaign declined to comment on Williams' assertion.
WFPL-FM reporter Phillip Bailey asked in an email the day of Obama's visit if the governor had been invited. Beshear spokeswoman Kerri Richardson responded that the governor didn't find out about the visit in time to go.
