FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear laughed off some unflattering comments aimed at him on social media in the past year, and had his teenage son translate what one barb meant, in a light-hearted video that shows his willingness to occasionally poke fun at himself.
Continuing an end-of-the-year tradition, Beshear and his wife, Britainy, read several posts from 2024 that took jabs at him. It’s their version of late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel’s segment where celebrities read mean posts directed at them on the social media platform X.
Beshear, who has been mentioned as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, read one message that said: “Andy, I love you but you have zero aura.”
“I wish I knew what that meant, but it doesn’t sound good,” the governor said.
He called his son, Will, to translate, asking him: “So is that like a good thing?” His son replied it wasn’t, saying it meant “you have zero coolness.”
