Turns out Andy Beshear’s appearance on “The View” wasn’t his only New York stop:
According to “The Daily Show” promo:
Democratic Governor of Kentucky and host of Sirius XM’s “Andy Beshear Podcast,” Andy Beshear, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the consequences of Trump’s presidency on Kentuckians, including how tariffs have halted jobs while raising costs and the Big Beautiful Bills’ part in ruining rural healthcare. They discuss watching the MAGA fever break in the chronically red state, encouraging Democrats to colloquialize their speech to better connect with constituents, testing the Supreme Court’s strength in the administration by suing the President, and focusing on the “why” Democrats fight, versus what they stand for.
Oh, really? Has the “MAGA fever” broken here. Don’t forget the Evil Andy (Barr) is going full racist, transphobic asshole in his campaign to get the GOP nomination for Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat.
As the Kentucky Lantern points out:
In a 30-second ad released over the weekend, U.S. Rep. Andy Barr — running for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat — is pictured on a farm. The sun is shining. There is a barn and an American flag behind him. “You know what DEI really stands for?” he says, smiling. “Dumb, evil, indoctrination.”
The scene shifts and we see a black man in a crowd. He is wearing a Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. t-shirt and holding up a sign that reads “Stay woke America.”
“Woke liberals spew it,” Barr says, “corporate losers fall for it, but thanks to Trump, America is rejecting that trash.”
An interesting choice for the Barr campaign to release the ad on the heels of President Donald Trump’s racist social media post (which was primarily about debunked claims of voter fraud) depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife as apes, an image I first became aware of last October when Bobbie Coleman, then-chairperson of the Hardin County Republican Party, shared the extended AI video depicting the Obamas as apes on her county party’s Facebook page.
Governor Andy presents a utopian view of Kentuckians joining together to improve the lives of everyone in the state. Bizarro Andy snuggles with the dystopian view of hate your neighbors, especially if they’re Brown.
Which Andy represents the real Kentucky?
