Kentucky Lantern: The double standard is laughable
By TERI CARTER
In the hours after Vice President Kamala Harris became the de facto Democratic nominee for president and Gov. Andy Beshear was lauded as a potential pick for vice president, I received a text message about Beshear from a MAGA man in my family: Maybe he can control her.
Words I do not recall hearing, in my lifetime, about any male candidate for president.
When asked about a potential Harris-Beshear ticket, state Sen. Damon Thayer, the Kentucky Senate’s floor leader, told Isaiah Kim-Martinez of WHAS11, “I don’t know if Kamala Harris is dumb enough to pick Andy Beshear, but maybe she is.”
