Despite lobbing the same questions at Tim Walz, J.D. Vance lost it when pressed about his own military service.
Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance seems perfectly happy to dish out criticism of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over his military record, but he just can’t take it.
Vance blew up at CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Thursday, after she called Vance an “imperfect messenger” to criticize Walz over his military service.
“At what point did military service become a liability?” Keilar asked rhetorically on CNN’s Inside Politics. “I also think that J.D. Vance as a messenger on this may be an imperfect messenger.”
Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the public affairs section in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, and according to his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, the Republican nominee was “lucky to escape any real fighting.” Still, that hasn’t stopped Vance from accusing Walz, who served with the Army National Guard for 24 years, of exiting the service before his unit was deployed to Iraq.
i can see how it can be frustrating to see every q&a session has a military-related question couched in.
but seriously, does he not melt down to anything? even the softest of balls he gets asked pisses him off for some reason.
Reporter: “what makes you laugh?”
Vance: “well i laugh at bogus questions like this from lamestream media!”
Reporter: “why would people want to have a beer with you”
Vance: “because i like beer… maybe a little too much. I’M SURE THE MEDIA’S GONNA JUMP ON MY THROAT FOR THIS TOO”
like Jesus Christ dude calm the fuck down they’re trying to help you and you can’t stop being a weirdo for a goddamn second.
For me, the most surprising thing about him has been how bad he is with the media.
I knew he was going to be a fascist piece of shit. I’m shocked at how incompetent a public speaker he is.
He’s a fucking Senator and can’t answer the most softball possible question.
If this is how he responds to softballs, can you imagine how he responds to hardballs? I can’t wait to see the debates!
I picture him crying like Kavanaugh.
His balls get hard when they are pressed down against plush cushions wrapped in italian leather.
as Emma Vigeland said, it’s karmic justice that he basically got desantis reincarnated as his VP candidate. they have the same charisma suck, the same uncomfortable laugh at things that clearly bother them.
It’s impressive how JD Vance seems to be the best player on Kamela’s team.
Honestly he reminds me of Paul Ryan, who did not do Romney any favors.
I still remember the time Ryan bizarrely barged into a homeless shelter, took pictures of himself cleaning bowls that were already clean, and left, to the utter bewilderment of the people running the shelter.
Such is the way of authoritarian regimes.
Being a part of the GOP when Trump took over really came down to just agreeing with the man blindly and letting him treat you how he pleased. Trump can’t stand to share the spotlight with anyone else meaning people in the GOP most likely aren’t getting any experience as most of them share their big moments with the orange man who takes over immediately.
Most of these people have no personality outside of supporting Trump and they aren’t capable of much either because they would make Trump nervous.
He’s literally only been in politics for like 2 years lol shit can’t get any more stupid.
I see what you did there
“Yes, fellow human, I love to do human things like drinking beer!”
Oddly suspicious…
I’m not saying Vance is throwing the election on purpose to fuck with Trump…
But if he was, what would he be doing differently?
he would probably fuck that up somehow and help him win
That is a fair answer to that question.
Now I’m picturing Vance trying intentionally the say the most racist thing he can think of and instead of doing something like dropping the Hard R while giving a speech in the middle of Harlem about how “We’re gonna reinstate slavery baby!”
He somehow manages to not only endear black people to Trump and vice verse, but is actually successful in one speech at ending racism forever.
or if you wanna go really crazy… he develops a charisma, and people start liking him. he starts acting like a human and stops being a weirdo creep.
i think your scenario is more likely though.
Hehe, couched in.
