LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Jeb Bush and Rand Paul became the targets of a protest during a fundraiser downtown.  The demonstrators said “Democrats and republicans support the ADA, but not Rand Paul.”

Today marks 20 years since former President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law.  They claim Paul opposes part of the law that requires businesses to provide accommodations to those with disabilities.

Paul's campaign says the protestors are wrong and released a statement saying "Rand Paul is deeply attuned to needs and struggles of the disabled, and to imply otherwise is a cheap political stunt by his opponent […] It is sad that a desperate Jack Conway would make such irresponsible charges and politicize a nonpolitical event to further his own ambitions."
