Fmr. Gov. Giving Dem Response to Trump Speech Intros Himself as a Republican

A former  governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear, got the Democrats' response to President Trump's quasi-State of the Union address off to a rocky start after mistakenly introducing himself as a Republican.

Here's an excerpt:

"From 2007 to 2017. I'm a private citizen now. I'm here in Lexington, Kentucky some 400 miles from Washington at a diner with neighbors, Democrats and Republicans, where we watched the president's address. I'm a proud Democrat, but first and foremost I'm a proud Republican, and Democrat and mostly American. Like many of you, I am worried about the future of this nation. Look, I grew up in Kentucky in a small town called Dawson springs. My dad and granddad were Baptist preachers. My family owned a funeral home, and my wife Jane and I have been married for almost 50 years."
