Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said that Senator JD Vance (R-OH) and his family should go through a case of rape that leads to pregnancy in an interview on MSNBC on Tuesday during coverage of the DNC. Mika Brzezinski asked Beshear's opinion on the GOP saying that Democrats would like abortion through 9 months of pregnancy.
"It's just fear tactics, and it's just lying to people. I mean, think about what some people have had to go through because of these laws. I mean, JD Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape 'inconvenient.' Like, inconvenience is traffic," Beshear said, adding "I mean, make him go through this."
"It is someone being violated, someone being harmed, and then telling them that they don't have options after that. That fails any test of decency, of humanity," the Kentucky governor added.
Vance responded in a post, "What the hell is this? Why is Andy Beshear wishing that a member of my family would get raped?!?"
Abortion has been a top issue that the Harris campaign has focused on during the 2024 election cycle. Both the Democrat nominee and Joe Biden accused the Trump-Vance camp of wanting to ban abortion across the country, however, Trump has repeatedly stated that the laws will be left up to the states.
The Trump-Vance campaign said in a press release, "After speaking on the DNC main stage last night, Harris campaign surrogate Governor Andy Beshear went on national television this morning and explicitly called for a member of Senator Vance's family to be raped. His comments are disgusting, vile, and should not be tolerated in American politics. We call on Kamala Harris to immediately repudiate Governor Beshear's comments and demonstrate that regardless of partisan disagreements, this kind of violent rhetoric has no place in our public discourse."
