Andy Beshear (D) said in an interview Sunday that “it hurts” to see former President Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the Republican vice presidential nominee, lie about the results of the 2020 election and natural disasters.
During Beshear’s “This Week” appearance, ABC News’s Martha Raddatz referenced an interview she had done with Vance earlier in the show, in which she pressed the Ohio senator on Trump’s 2020 election loss.
Apparently, there is no lie too big for Donald Trump and JD Vance,” Beshear said in response to the Vance interview.
The Kentucky governor later added that “it hurts” when it comes to “all this [misinformation].” In recent weeks, Vance has refused to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election on multiple occasions.
The Hill has reached out to a spokesperson for Vance and the Trump campaign for comment.
Kentucky Gov. In a Sunday interview, Democratic strategist Andy Beshear stated that “it hurts” to see former president Trump and Sen. The Republican nominee for vice president, JD Vance (R-Ohio), has lied about natural disasters and the outcome of the 2020 election.
Martha Raddatz of ABC News brought up an earlier interview she conducted with Vance during Beshear’s appearance on “This Week,” during which she pressed the Ohio senator regarding Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election. Vance remained silent when she asked.
It’s simply incredible. Beshear reacted to the Vance interview by saying, “Apparently, no lie is too big for Donald Trump and JD Vance.”. We should have a vice president who believes in democracy and is able to state, “Yes, Donald Trump lost the last election, and now we’re running in this one.'” When you ask him about the previous election, all you’re really asking him to do is acknowledge reality. “.”.
Beshear complained about the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) “lies” regarding their response to disasters.
Beshear said, “Listen, we had our worst flood and tornado disasters in Kentucky history, and I didn’t have to deal with any of the shenanigans that Donald Trump [is] putting out right now.”.
The governor of Kentucky went on to say that “all this [misinformation] hurts.”. “.
Vance has repeatedly declined to accept that Trump lost the 2020 election in recent weeks.
Furthermore, Trump has made the false claim that FEMA’s assistance to those facing home destruction is limited to $750, despite the fact that two catastrophic hurricanes have devastated millions of lives throughout the Southeast and claimed dozens of lives.
A representative for Vance and the Trump campaign has been contacted by The Hill to request comment.
