Republican Party of Kentucky Responds After Beshear Suggests Vance Family Member Should Experience Rape

August 20, 2024

Frankfort, Kentucky - Andy Westberry, spokesperson for the Republican Party of Kentucky, issued the following statement after Governor Andy Beshear’s appearance on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ where he suggested that a member of the Vance family should be raped.

“All this talk about the Parable of the Good Samaritan rings hollow when you condone vile attacks. Rape is an abhorrent crime that no one—no one—should ever endure, including Senator Vance’s family. Andy Beshear should be ashamed for suggesting that any human being, let alone a political opponent, deserves such trauma. He must immediately retract this disgraceful remark and publicly apologize to the Vance family.”
