The legislature in Kentucky has been controlled by Republican super majorities over the entirety of his term.

And everything for which he claims credit actually belongs to them by way of accomplishment.

There are a few things for which he can claim credit.

One is shutting down the state of Kentucky harder than Gavin Newsom shut down the state of California, which resulted in the educational hobbling of an entire generation of Kentucky children who were already well behind national average standards on both reading and math.

You could go to a liquor store or a strip club for months in Kentucky before you could send your child to a public school.

Andy Beshear is responsible for that.

He shut down the state's entire economy.

He had an antiquated unemployment benefits system that he instructed

the director of to make sure that his contributors and his family members were placed into the front of the line while regular everyday people at home got a busy signal for months on end and had no financial lifeline while his family and friends got valet treatment.

When this was discovered, he scapegoated the director of the unemployment system for following his own instructions, a guy by the name of Muncie McNamara.

And Mr. McNamara took his own life.

But the most egregious reality about Andy Beshear and his father pertains to the fact that they were both law partners at the law firm that represented Purdue Pharma against the people of Kentucky and the litigation over OxyContin while they were law partners there.

Andy Beshear and his daddy drew law partner paychecks off Purdue Pharma client bills while they were there.

And the people of Kentucky should have received a billion dollars, but instead received a measly $24 million payout from Purdue Pharma because...

Andy and his daddy's law firm malpracticed that case.

The public record will establish that as part of the Purdue Pharma settlement, 17 million documents were destroyed,

The case was put under seal, and as a condition of the settlement, their law firm was allowed to cure their malpractice of the case, which resulted in a $24 million settlement within days of Andy Beshear becoming the attorney general.

That's right, the attorney general.

I said I've been a Republican all my life, and I have.

My family's been Republican going back to the Civil War.
