(TNS) Kentucky’s governor appeared on television programs like The View and The Daily Show, he took shots at Republicans on social media and said he’d refuse to show up to an upcoming dinner for governors.
It was on the back of survey results showing Beshear is still the country’s most popular Democratic governor that he appeared on talk shows Monday to discuss with hosts why his strategy as a Democratic leader in a Republican state works. The governor also appeared in part to promote the podcast he launched last year in April.
Beshear told the hosts of The View he’s been able to win multiple times as a Democrat in deep red Kentucky because of three things: he said he stands up for his convictions, tries to talk “like a normal human being” and connects his politics and policy back to what drives him.
“Especially in a world with social media where everyone’s looking for the next authentic thing, for me, that’s my faith,” he said on the morning talk show. “Most of the decisions I make are based on that golden rule that says we love our neighbor as ourself, and that parable, the good Samaritan, that says everyone is our neighbor.
“And so, when I’ve taken actions like vetoing the nastiest piece of anti-LGBTQ legislation that ever came through my state, I described it in those terms. I said, ‘my faith teaches me that all children are children of God,’ and I didn’t want people picking on those kids,” he said.
Beshear was referencing 2023’s Senate Bill 150, which banned gender-affirming health care for transgender teens, including puberty blockers and surgeries. The GOP-controlled legislature ultimately overrode his veto.

Unfortunately, we have a part time legislature, so it cannot meet to block his executive actions when they are not in session - the legislature cannot call itself into session. He has been quite destructive on his board appointments, etc. by putting leftists into positions of power.
Is he taking Alyssa’s place? 🤔
Beshear, like AOC, just another skin tag on Body America.
Let Beshear the Clown go in front of a crowd of Palestine First douches, and make sure they have a bunch of bricks handy, and know that he’s a Jew.
That’ll shut his turd mouth right quick.
Another Democrap foreskin.
WTH Kentucky?!? Beshear, The Turtle, Massie, Rand Paul. Lay off the bourbon before you vote for Christ’s sake!
There just ain’t no accountin’ for taste.

Circa 2024
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was a rare beast in the 2024 political landscape: a Democratic governor of a solidly red state. The political acumen that reflects, some Democratic strategists believe, would make him valuable on the national campaign trail even if he can’t turn Kentucky blue.
In his state, the governor’s biggest political battles have hinged on hot-button topics like transgender health care and abortion rights; on both issues, the governor who says his “values are grounded in my faith” has found allies among Kentucky’s Jews.
Last year, Beshear vetoed a law banning certain medical procedures for transgender youth, which the Republican-controlled state legislature introduced weeks after the trans son of the chamber’s only Jewish lawmaker died by suicide; state Republicans then overrode his veto.
In response, a Democratic state lawmaker gave a viral floor speech, inspired by her friendship with an Orthodox Jewish constituent, in which she linked anti-trans legislation to antisemitism.
Beshear also opposes his state’s near-total abortion ban, which had been challenged in court by three Jewish women alleging that the law infringed upon their religious freedom rights. A judge threw out the lawsuit in June, saying they lacked standing.
Beshear has voiced support for Israel since the Oct. 7 attacks. He said that he and his wife’s “prayers go out to the people of Israel” immediately after the attacks. In December he established a task force to combat antisemitism that included several Jewish politicians and community leaders. He later pushed the task force to address hostility toward Jews on college campuses in the state.
I don’t think he is a Jew. I believe he’s an evangelical Christian.
In fact, lay off all drugs and alcohol, and stop watching lefty propaganda media outlets before voting!
Unfortunately.
He’s definitely not Jewish. He’s part of an off-brand, quasi-evangelical, sect.
(What’s wrong with Kentucky? Their pols are whack jobs.)
Must be something in the water.
Another wannabe auditions for the 2028 election
Sound like Andy is considering identifying as a female “Da View” prop.
