This guy was considered to be Harris' VP? Wow.
I admit, I had to DVR most of the convention yesterday, when I hit Beshear's speaking, after a couple minutes I fast forwarded. I'd never vote for him and I was bored. Oh what I missed:

'Disgusting person': JD Vance rips Gov. Beshear for 'wishing' tragedy on his family

Ohio Senator and GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance called Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear a "disgusting person" and accused him of "wishing" that a member of his family "would get raped" in an interview.
Gov. Beshear spoke Monday night at the Democratic National Convention, praising the Harris campaign its plan to stop abortion bans following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In an interview on MSNBC Tuesday morning, Behsear falsely criticized Vance for calling pregnancy resulting in rape "inconvenient."
"Make him go through this," Beshear said in the interview.
Vance responded to Beshear's interview in a post on X saying, "What the hell is this?"
"Why is @AndyBeshearKY wishing that a member of my family would get raped?! What a disgusting person," Vance said.
Vance has not referred to pregnancy resulting in rape as inconvenient. Rather, as a then-Senate candidate, Vance once said, “It’s not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term. It’s whether a child should be allowed to live even though the circumstances of that child’s birth are somehow inconvenient or a problem to society.”
Vance has repeatedly said that he supports abortion access for exceptions of rape, incest, and if the life of a mother is at risk. He supports President Donald Trump's position that abortion policies should be decided at the state level -- which is what the Supreme Court decided in 2022. He also supports IVF access.
William Martin, communications director for Vance said in a statement, "After speaking on the DNC main stage last night, Harris campaign surrogate Governor Andy Beshear went on national television this morning and explicitly called for a member of Senator Vance’s family to be raped. His comments are disgusting, vile, and should not be tolerated in American politics."
"We call on Kamala Harris to immediately repudiate Governor Beshear’s comments and demonstrate that regardless of partisan disagreements, this kind of violent rhetoric has no place in our public discourse," Martin said.
