Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky expressed strong disapproval of California Governor Gavin Newsom's choice to feature Steve Bannon on his new podcast. Beshear believes that while diverse voices in discussions are valuable, Bannon's propagation of hatred and violence makes him unworthy of any platform. This judgment reflects Beshear's position as a potential presidential candidate and adds to the ongoing debate among Democratic governors regarding the inclusion of contentious figures in political discourse. Newsom's podcast, aimed to include significant conservative voices, has received pushback from various political figures, reiterating the divisive nature of Bannon's rhetoric.
I think that Governor Newsom bringing on different voices is great... But Steve Bannon espouses hatred and anger and even at some points violence.
Mr. Beshear... said Mr. Bannon's voice should not be elevated on any platform ever, anywhere.
