'Virginia is in play'

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) angered Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) while appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Tuesday -- and now he's accusing Vance of trying to play the victim and deflecting from the real issue. Beshear this week spoke about his admiration of Hadley Duvall, a 22-year-old woman who was molested by her stepfather and impregnated with his child at just 12 years old. She was able to have an abortion then, but the United States Supreme Court took away this right in 2022 when it overturned Roe v. Wade.Read Also: Inside the GOP's radical agenda to penalize 'sinners'"Hadley Duvall is one of the bravest people I've ever met," Beshear told MSNBC on Tuesday morning talking about how proud he is of her. He recalled the birth of his children, "Can you imagine, can you imagine, having to go through that not knowing if your child will survive? Or not hearing that sound at birth. Nobody should have to go through that. Everyone should have options. Mika Brzezinski the brought up false claims made by former President Donald Trump about Democrats supporting abortions even after babies are born."It's just lying to people," said Beshear. "I mean, just think about what some people have had to go through because of these laws. I mean, J.D. Vance calls pregnancy from rape 'inconvenient.' Inconvenience is traffic. I mean, it is — make him go through this. I mean, someone being violated. Someone being harmed and then telling them that they don't have options after that? That fails any test of decency, of humanity."Vance took to X and unloaded on Beshear and claimed that the Kentucky governor was wishing that someone in Vance's family suffer through a sexual assault.Beshear, however, told MSNBC on Tuesday that such claims were "ridiculous." "But it's also deflection. J.D. Vance knows that he and Donald Trump are so wrong on this issue," said the governor. "And so he's trying to make himself and Donald Trump the victim. Listen, Hadley Duvall was a victim. The women that were on the stage last night. The couple that had to go through a non-viable pregnancy are victims. As a man, J.D. Vance will never have to face any of this personally."See the video clips below or at the link here. - YouTubewww.youtube.com
