Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) wildly accused Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear of wishing someone in Vances family would get raped after the Democrat criticized the senators past comments about pregnancies that result from sexual assault.

In a Tuesday interview on MSNBCs Morning Joe, Beshear called out Republicans for their extreme stances on abortion bans and denounced Vance for opposing exceptions in cases of rape and incest.

Appearing to reference comments the Republican made during his run for the Senate in 2021, Beshear told host Mika Brzezinski, JD Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient. Inconvenience is traffic. I mean, it is, make him go through this.

It is someone being violated, someone being harmed and then telling them that they dont have options after that that fails any test of decency, of humanity.

In 2021, Vance said allowing access to abortion in cases of rape or incest is not a matter of whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term but an issue of if a child should be allowed to live even though the circumstances of that childs birth are somehow inconvenient or a problem to society.

The question really, to me, is about the baby, he concluded.
