Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has slammed JD Vance in brutal fashion – labelling Donald Trump’s running mate a “phony and fake”.

Democrat Beshear, who has given his support to Kamala Harris after President Biden dropped out of the election race, ripped into Vance for not sticking to his principles.

During a savage interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Beshear stated: “JD Vance is a phony, he’s a fake. He first said Donald Trump was like Hitler and now he’s acting like he’s [Abraham] Lincoln.

Then he stunned Collins by adding: “The problem with JD Vance is he has no conviction…but I guess his running mate has 34.”

Beshear was of course referencing the 34 felony counts Trump was found guilty of in his hush money case.

There is the possibility that Beshear will be picked as Harris’ running mate if she gets the Dem nomination.

When asked how he’d fare against Vance, Beshear replied: “Any Democrat would eat Vance’s lunch.”

He added: “We need folks that have substance, are up for the job, and JD Vance certainly isn’t and never will be.”

Earlier today, Beshear gave his full support to VP Harris, indicating he would not be running against her.

He tweeted: “Proud to join @Morning_Joe to announce my full support for our next POTUS, @KamalaHarris!

“She’s incredibly tough & smart, w/ the compassion and empathy to be a phenomenal president. She’ll bring our country together and move us past the anger politics we’ve seen in recent years.”
