Republican Senator Rand Paul upset Kentucky’s popular Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, during the state’s “Fancy Farm” picnic by saying Beshear had been “neutered” by the Republican legislature.
Beshear quickly responded with a strong reply.
He wrote on Twitter: “Sorry to miss Fancy Farm today, but let me get in on the fun.Rand Paul apparently said I’d been ‘neutered’ by my legislature.Rich coming from a guy who’s never had a pair of balls and if he did they’d be held by Trump.”
He also added: “I’m told Andy Barr also spoke.
We aren’t the same.Yes, same first name, hometown and high school, but I don’t run racist ads.Yes, Steve’s my dad, but Trump’s his daddy.”
He continued: “Funny how the Republicans are all mad I missed one political event to watch my son play baseball.
But no outrage that Mitch McConnell has been nowhere to be seen for 50 days.”
Beshear concluded: “Fancy Farm is a great Kentucky tradition and it’s all in good fun.
I can take it.Hope they can too!”
Rand Paul often acts like an independent and principled libertarian, but in reality, he’s closely tied to Trump.
He always gives in at the last minute to support whatever Trump wants.
Beshear is absolutely right to call him out.
