I’m less than impressed with the lone Democrat in our state’s congressional delegation, because he’s failed to make any kind of impression on the national stage. His response to this latest bit of GOP scumbaggery is extremely frustrating:

Two powerful Kentucky Republicans suggested this week that Kentucky could move to get rid of its only Democrat representative in Congress. That came on the heels of Gov. Andy Beshear, during an interview with a Democratic influencer on his podcast this week, lauding the efforts of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Newsom has pushed to gerrymander his own state’s map to add Democratic representation in response to GOP-led Texas’ plans to gerrymander theirs at the request of President Donald Trump.

“I wish none of this was happening, but if Texas goes forward, I think that Gavin Newsom is doing the exact right thing in California. If these are the new rules, everybody’s got to play by them,” Beshear said. That triggered talk in Kentucky: Should Republicans follow what’s happening in Texas?

Republican commentator and Kentuckian Scott Jennings argued on X Thursday night that Beshear’s comments lauding California gave Kentucky Republicans the “green light.”

“Looks like we have the GREEN LIGHT in KY and Beshear will sign it into law, maybe? A 6-0 map is easily drawn,” Jennings wrote, thanking Beshear.

Kentucky’s Congressional District map is currently drawn to favor a 5-1 GOP majority, with only Louisville Rep. Morgan McGarvey’s district winnable for Democrats.

House Majority Whip Jason Nemes, R-Middletown, who played a key role in the last redistricting effort that took place, responded to the same post featuring Beshear’s comments with an emoji expressing intrigue.

“Interesting comments from the governor,” Nemes told the Herald-Leader in a short statement Friday. A spokesperson for McGarvey did not offer comment Friday; neither did a spokesperson for state Senate leadership, which would need to back such a move for it to pass.

First of all, the correct response from the McGarvey spokesperson should have been: “Fuck those Nazi asshole fluffers for the senile incontinent Orange TACO. They come at me, I’ll kick them in the balls until they shit themselves and curl up on the floor crying for their mommies.”

But in my mind, this is the flaccid response we’ve come to expect. Here’s what bothers me:

If you poll Americans and make a reference to the “leftist Puerto Rican woman in New York,” a lot of people will answer “AOC.”

If you ask them, “who’s that Ugandan Muslim running for mayor of New York, they’ll pronounce the name wrong, but they will be close to saying “Mamdani.”

If you ask, “who’s that loud Black woman from Texas who’s always talking smack at Marjorie Taylor Greene, they’ll probably come up with a first name: Jasmine.

But if you ask people his own district, who’s the only Democrat from this state in Congress, they won’t have a clue. They won’t even come close with a McGreevey or a McMuffin. And there’s the problem.

McGarvey should have been invading every congressional district in this state where Republicans have been avoiding town hall meetings and acidly saying nearly all of his congressional counterparts are a bunch of boot licking quislings who care more about lining their pockets than improving the lives of their constituents. Has he not even noticed that Democrats who have done that are getting ovations in Ruby Red districts?

McGarvey should have been at the least aligning himself with Thomas Massie, the only GOP rep who’s demanding answers as to why Elon Musk’s orange Chia pet won’t release the files showing TACO’s a pedophile who took cues from Jeffrey Epstein on how to molest children.

McGarvey should have been showing up on Fox News like Pete Buttigieg to counter every GOP lie that that network defecates into the skull caps of its brain-dead MAGAt audience.

Instead, his spokesman doesn’t have a response to the actual threat of having his congressional seat gerrymandered into nonexistence. That is unforgivable.

This reminds me of the explanation of the “Chicago Way” in the movie “The Untouchables.”

McGarvey is no Sean Connery. He isn’t even a McMuffin
