Kentucky Democrat Gov. Beshear says JD Vance’s family needs to be r*ped so he will understand it

It’s campaign season and leading politicians are saying some things they might regret. Case in point, on MSNBC, Kentucky Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear, while trying to make a point about abortion exceptions, said a member of vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s family needs to be raped so Vance will understand the need for abortions.

“Make him go through this,” Beshear said.

Later, when asked about the remark, Beshear refused to apologize.

“What the hell is this? Why is @AndyBeshearKY wishing that a member of my family would get raped?!? What a disgusting person,” Vance wrote in response.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said, “Please don’t judge Kentucky based on our Democrat Governor’s disgusting remarks.”
