Gov. Andy Beshear has apologized after accusing a Kentucky man, named Tupac Shakur, of using a fake name to collect unemployment during the coronavirus pandemic.
During a press briefing on Monday, Beshear called Lexington local resident Shakur a “bad apple,” who “thought he was funny” by using a “fake name” in his application and thereby making other applicants wait longer to receive unemployment payment.
