In Columbia, Beshear explains his problems with woke language again.

The South Carolina Democratic pilgrimage continues — Andy Beshear kicking off his two-day tour today by talking to AFL-CIO in Greenville.

"I am proud to have vetoed every anti-union bill that came across my desk." "I'm a governor that walked a picket line during my election."

Beshear, whose wins over Rs who ran trans-focused ads have made him sort of a Dem strategy consultant, says Trump's "obsession with culture war issues" has distracted people from a failure to lower costs.

Most of speech is about success in Kentucky, some is about Dems having more normal, sensible messaging. On GOP's bill: "We can’t say it’s going to make people food insecure. What it’s gonna make people do is go hungry."

“When we win, we do what Republicans can’t: We govern well.”

Beshear says that Democrats have gotten thrown off by “inclusive” language — “we don’t change minds by changing words.” Examples are “substance abuse” and “justice-involved population.” “Anybody know who that is? Those are our inmates.”
