LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - WKYT's Dave Baker spoke with President Donald Trump ahead of his campaign rally in Lexington. President Trump spoke about his support for Kentucky Republicans Matt Bevin and Mitch McConnell along with a variety of other topics.

In a bizarre op-ed in The Charleston Gazette last week, journalism professor Christopher Swindell argued that the National Rifle Association “advocates armed rebellion against the duly elected government of the United States of America.” Stirring words, to be sure, but Swindell was hardly done — not even close. He also said that the NRA is guilty of “treason” “worthy of the firing squad.” “To support the new NRA president’s agenda of arming the populace for confrontation with the government is bloody treason,” Swindell charged in his wacky essay.
