Andy Beshear liefert einen vernichtenden Angriff auf JD Vance in Ohio und schürt die Spannungen im Jahr 2028

(From the article): „Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky on Saturday excoriated Vice President JD Vance as the “most arrogant politician I have ever seen,” escalating a yearslong rivalry between two potential 2028 presidential candidates who claim Appalachian roots.

Speaking at a local Democratic Party gala in the Ohio county where Mr. Vance grew up, Mr. Beshear accused the vice president of talking down to the people of Kentucky. For his part, the governor charged that the vice president had disappointed the people of Ohio, whom Mr. Vance represented in the Senate.

“Ohio deserved a much better senator than him, and we all deserve a much better vice president,” Governor Beshear, a term-limited Democrat, told the crowd at the event on Saturday night in Butler County, Ohio, according to audio of the event provided by his representatives.

“There is no one who will work harder, no matter what I am doing next year, to beat JD Vance in 2028,” vowed Mr. Beshear, who won re-election in 2023, a year before Mr. Trump carried his state by about 30 percentage points.

The vice president’s press secretary, Taylor Van Kirk, suggested that Mr. Beshear was chasing headlines.

“Every time Andy Beshear attacks the vice president to try to get himself publicity, he ends up humiliating himself in the process, but maybe that’s something he’s into?” Ms. Van Kirk said in a statement.

Mr. Beshear has repeatedly accused Mr. Vance of overstating his blue-collar roots and misrepresenting himself as a product of Appalachia. Mr. Vance has family roots in Kentucky but was primarily raised in Middletown, Ohio, which is near Cincinnati and is not generally considered to be part of Appalachia.

“Part of why I’m here is because this is where JD Vance is actually from,” Mr. Beshear said on Saturday night. “Instead of rural Kentucky where he pretends to be from.”“

Can’t wait to vote blue no matter who.  Anyone is better than Vance.  

It really cracks me up that basically every Republican press representative releases statements that are the equivalent of „Your Mom“ – because they can’t say anything serious, it’s just lie or say something insane.

Beshear has only won in off year elections with lower than 45% turnout and has never won more than 750k votes. He’s a wild eyed nepo baby that should kindly sit down. 2028 will eat him alive

Andy is our king!

Look, I like Beshear, but attacking Vance’s Appalachian roots is cringe-inducing. A decent fraction of SW Ohio traces its roots one or two generations back to eastern Kentucky. Vance’s family history is not unusual or in any way noteworthy for someone from Middletown. 

Attack the poverty porn of *Hillbilly Elegy*; that’s fair. But Beshear needs to stop saying things like, „He ain’t from Kentucky.“ He sounds like a cartoon panderer every time he does.

yeah beshear really knows how to fire up a crowd
