Ryan Adamczeski at The Advocate:

Andy Beshear's message to other politicians? Stop fixating on the LGBTQ+ community and focus on the issues actually impacting people. The Democratic governor of Kentucky appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan Sunday, where he was asked about other Democrats' recent push to abandon transgender people in order to supposedly win political favor. Beshear noted that he vetoed a major anti-LGBTQ+ bill as a Democrat in a red state during an election year and still won. “I voted down one of the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bills that my state had ever seen, in my election year. But I did two things," Beshear said. “Number one: I talked about why. That’s my faith, where I’m taught that all children are children of God, and I wanted to stick up for children [who] were being picked on." “But the second thing: Voters in my state knew the very next day, I was going to be working on jobs," he continued. "I was going to be opening a new health clinic, first hospital in our largest African American neighborhood in 150 years, we just cut the ribbon on. We’ve created two pediatric autism centers in Appalachia, so that people don’t have to drive two hours.”

Beshear vetoed a bill in 2023 that sought to ban gender-affirming care for minors and public school instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity at all grade levels, as well as forcing the outing of LGBTQ+ students to their guardians. Kentucky lawmakers still pushed through the bill after overriding Beshear's veto. Beshear also vetoed a bill in 2022 barring transgender girls and women from competing with cisgender females in school sports. Republicans overrode that, too, though Beshear was able to pass in September an executive order banning the dangerous and discredited practice of so-called "conversion therapy," which has not been overridden.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) went on CBS’s Face The Nation Sunday hosted by Margaret Brennan to explain why he rightly vetoed cruel anti-LGBTQ+ bills that got veto overridden anyway. Beshear said it best: “All children are children of God and I wanted to stick up for children who were being picked on.”

Paige Skinner at HuffPost:

Vice President JD Vance defended the pardons of Jan. 6 rioters Sunday on “Face The Nation,” going against his comments earlier this month when he said violent rioters should not be pardoned. Vance told “Face The Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan that violence against a police officer is “not justified,” but that the “weaponized” Department of Justice was “unconstitutional” in its charges against the rioters. “There’s what the people actually did on Jan. 6, and we’re not saying that everybody did everything perfectly,” Vance said. “And then what did Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice do in unjustly prosecuting well over a thousand Americans in a way that was politically motivated?” Vance said he and President Donald Trump looked at 1,600 cases and saw a “massive denial of due process of liberty,” and said he believes Trump made the “right decision” in blanket pardoning more than 1,500 people who were charged in the attack of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, on his first day in office ― contradicting the comments he made earlier this month: “If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.”
