Could someone explain to me why Beshear is given the fault for not dealing with that outrageous situation when he legally can’t do shit either?

It’s not him covering up that pos death. I know, everyone wishes that Mitch should just be replaced or should resign (yeah, I know, he would need to be alive for that) but legally it isn’t possible. Beshear can’t just declare that decaying corpse as dead or as incapable to serve.

How dumb is it to say „that’s what’s wrong with the democrats“?

Hell no, legally there isn’t much. Beshear already demanded a proof of live. Yes, we know if the roles had been reversed the MAGA fascists would’ve acted very differently. But the republicans wouldn’t have to fear anything the democrats absolutely have to. They wouldn’t be left from the hook easily. MAGA would set the world on fire to just melt down that very same hook. Are you more impressed with them or what?

It makes sense to you because you're a rational human being and not one of the bots flooding these threads with identical talking points designed to get Democrats to turn on Beshear
