'Hey JD, there's the fraud': Vance trolled and mocked by rival on CNN

Kentucky Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear tore into Vice President JD Vance during a live CNN broadcast on Tuesday.

Beshear joined CNN anchor Kasie Hunt to talk about the primary election in Kentucky when he gave his real opinions of Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — taking a clear jab at the Trump administration and the cabinet leaders. Hunt asked Beshear what he thought about Vance or Rubio launching a 2028 presidential bid. Beshear slammed Vance's comment during a White House press conference that he would not rule out using money from a $1.8 billion fund to pay potential Jan. 6 rioters.

"Flat out crazy, and it's allout fraud," Beshear said. "I mean, Donald Trumpmade JD Vance the czar fraud.Well, there's now a 1.78, 1.7,or $1.8 billion slush fund for Donald Trump's allies. There's$1 billion ballroom that hasn'tbeen approved. Donald Trump isbuying stocks and then pumpingup the companies. Hey, JD,there's the fraud. Go get it."

Hunt also asked Beshear if he thought it would be more difficult for a Democrat to face off against Vance or Rubio in a potential 2028 presidential bid. The Democrat had a few personal comments on both Trump allies.

"I think we've got tobe ready for whoever it is, andwe've got to be ready for themto be willing to say anything," Beshear responded. "Imean, JD Vance pretends he'sfrom Kentucky. He's not. He's from the suburbs of Cincinnati.He made his money off talkingdown to the people of Appalachia. It was povertytourism. This is a guy whochanged his name multiple timesand who calls his childhood hisorigin story."

He turned to Rubio, and what Beshear views as the secretary of state's desperate attempts to please Trump.

"Marco Rubioappears to be willing to doanything to get ahead," Beshear added. "I mean,he works for a president thatcalled him little Marco, thatinsulted him over and over. Andwhat's his response? Yes, sir.And yes, sir. So I think the American people are going to beready regardless for realleadership, people that have thereceipts of getting thingsdone in their states, andthey're going to be looking forsomeone that again,doesn't just swing that pendulumfrom one side to another, butcan actually restore thestability of this country, canrestore the stability of oureconomy and can make sure we'reno longer viewed internationallyas the bully on the playground — but once again, the leader ofthe free world."
