The Republican response was crazy, but I don't think the implication in posting this is to suggest Beshear was encouraging Democrats to stand aside and allow the Trump admin to run rampant (or worse, exacerbate things themselves), it's just further evidence that the Dems are still blaming the public and assuming that the whatever the Trump administration succeeds in inflicting on them is a lesson to "vote correctly" next time. There's no sense of awareness of their own errors.
