During the first night of the Democrat National Convention (DNC), a Harris campaign surrogate wished a member of Sen. JD Vance’s (R-OH) family would get pregnant via rape so that he would change his mind on the murder of the unborn because of the experience.
Abortion was a key issue during the first night of the DNC, which included a mobile Planned Parenthood truck outside providing free medication abortions and vasectomies. Many Democrats used the event to attack Republicans for daring to advocate for the protection of unborn children, but one Democrat went too far.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) is now facing severe backlash on social media after he wished that a member of Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance’s family would be raped and become pregnant from the attack.
His comments came during an appearance on MSNBC at the event alongside host Mika Brzezinski, who asked him about how Americans are “seeing the ramifications of the overturning” of Roe v. Wade, when the Supreme Court returned the issue of abortion to the states.
“And then on the right, governor, you have Republican candidates and Republicans talking about babies being aborted at nine months. Can you even make sense of their argument? Because half of it’s not even true,” Brzezinski claimed.
Beshear replied: “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. JD Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape ‘inconvenient.’ Inconvenience is traffic. Make him go through this.”
The vile comments prompted significant backlash on social media, including hundreds of comments on all of Beshear’s most recent X posts calling for him to resign for his remarks, despite none of the tweets having anything to do with the comment — showing how angry many people are.
Vance even responded to Beshear’s comments, clearly angered over the leftist radical’s shocking wish.
“What the hell is this? Why is @AndyBeshearKY wishing that a member of my family would get raped?!? What a disgusting person,” he wrote.

The official Trump War Room account on X shared a clip of the comments, calling them “disgusting.”

One user compared Beshear’s comments on stage at the DNC about the “Golden Rule” — citing his supposed Christian faith by stating, “I am to love my neighbor as myself” — to his comments about Vance, pointing out the shocking level of hypocrisy from the radical left.
“LEFT: Last night, KY Gov. Andy Beshear advocates for the Golden Rule. RIGHT: Today, Beshear wishes a family member of JD Vance would become pregnant due to r*pe,” the user wrote, sharing the videos side by side.

Republican strategist Andrew Surabian also responded to Beshear’s comments, questioning whether Vice President Kamala Harris would denounce her campaign surrogate’s comments.
“Andy Beshear spoke on stage last night at Kamala’s DNC and is now on national TV calling for a member of @JDVance‘s family to be raped. Any comment from Kamala Harris on if she agrees with her surrogate? Is anyone in the media going to ask her if she repudiates this vile crap?” he wrote.
