FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed a GOP-backed bill Thursday to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at public universities, declaring that diversity should be embraced as a strength while branding the legislation as being “about hate.”
Beshear, who is seen as a potential candidate for the White House in 2028, announced his veto in a social media video. His forceful defense of diversity initiatives comes as Republican President Donald Trump seeks to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
“I believe in the Golden Rule that says we love our neighbor as ourself, and there are no exceptions, no asterisks,” Beshear said. “We love and we accept everyone. This bill isn’t about love. House Bill 4 is about hate. So I’m gonna try a little act of love myself, and I’m gonna veto it right now.”

This little man is just working on his woke chops for a presidential run in ‘28.
Fine by me...saves the taxpayer from sending Kentucky Universities money.
Mr President! Clean up in aisle Kentucky please!
How the heck did a Dem. manage to win an election in Kentucky?
Time to start slashing federal funding to leftist universities in Kentucky.
It's a mystery.
and while you're at it a few more states . . .
I should have added the /s
quote “We love and we accept everyone”....
except white straight dudes and Asians!
I was picking it up pretty easily ;-)
As if I needed another reason to hope Kentucky loses in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament.
One of the so called “centrist” Democrats some in the media are touting.
“love our neighbor as ourself”
The “golden rule “does not include buying a drunk another drink, basing hooves on racism, or indulging the fantasies of a degenerate evil lifestyle.
Fake news from AP
There is zero chance act Beshear will be the 2028 candidate.
California would never permit it.
McConnell
Louisville and Lexington
And the family name
He should stick to ribbon cutting on doggie spas.
Fake centrist
You look at the bills he has vetoed and his use of the liberal activist KY supreme court to hinder the legislature and the centrist label is hogwash. But he looks young and wholesome which goes a long way on the left.
All because a bunch of “Conservative” folks in Kentucky couldn’t vote for a black guy.
I don't agree with that. My perspective is that Cameron, and I really, really liked the man, ran a poor campaign against some pretty nasty stuff by Beshear's people. And got poor support (and perhaps backstabbed) from the McConnell RINOs.
