'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 all out fraud," Beshear said. "I mean, Donald Trump made 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't been approved. Donald Trump is buying stocks and then pumping up 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 to be ready for whoever it is, and we've got to be ready for them to be willing to say anything," Beshear responded. "I mean, JD Vance pretends he's from Kentucky. He's not. He's from the suburbs of Cincinnati. He made his money off talking down to the people of Appalachia. It was poverty tourism. This is a guy who changed his name multiple times and who calls his childhood his origin story."

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

"Marco Rubio appears to be willing to do anything to get ahead," Beshear added. "I mean, he works for a president that called him little Marco, that insulted him over and over. And what's his response? Yes, sir. And yes, sir. So I think the American people are going to be ready regardless for real leadership, people that have the receipts of getting things done in their states, and they're going to be looking for someone that again, doesn't just swing that pendulum from one side to another, but can actually restore the stability of this country, can restore the stability of our economy and can make sure we're no longer viewed internationally as the bully on the playground — but once again, the leader of the free world."
