From Fox News: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sparked an outcry on Tuesday when he appeared to suggest GOP vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, should experience a rape-induced pregnancy.
Beshear expressed outrage to “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski over Vance supposedly calling pregnancy from rape an “inconvenience,” repeating a Democratic attack that was fact-checked as out of context when it was leveled by Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan during his Senate race against Vance in 2022.
“Make him go through this,” the governor stated.
Beshear made the comments while laying out the Trump and Harris campaign’s positions on abortion and “reproductive freedom.” He told the anchor that “empowering people to make their own decisions” was “front and center” at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.
“I mean, think about what some people have had to go through because of these laws. I mean, JD Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient. Inconvenience is traffic. I mean, make him go through this,” Beshear said.
NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear appears to call for the r*pe of JD Vance or one of his family members during an interview with MSNBC.
The comment came after Beshear brought up and out of context quote from Vance.

While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Vance responded to Beshear’s comment, calling it “disgusting.”
“I never once called rape ‘inconvenient,'” Vance declared.
“I was talking about was the context of an unexpected pregnancy, not one caused by rape,” Vance explained.
