That J.D. Vance Thread

[Angrboda]

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Donald Trump’s running mate, dismissed right-wing agitator Laura Loomer’s racist criticisms after she said the “White House will smell like curry” if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidential election. Loomer is a close Trump ally and traveled with him several days last week, including to 9/11 memorials.

Vance — whose wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants — said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he did not agree with what Loomer said about Harris, but did not regard the comments as problematic.

“I don’t think that it’s insulting for anybody to talk about their dietary preferences or what they want to do in the White House,” Vance said.

Worth noting, even Trump managed to have the good sense to say “Laura Loomer doesn’t work for the Campaign. She’s a private citizen and longtime supporter. I disagree with the statements she made."

The fact that, like Ted Cruz, this man would throw his own wife under the bus tells you all you need to know about him.

Vance opted to ignore the mention of Springfield officials’ pleas and instead claimed that the media was just ignoring the issue. “Many of the things that the media says are completely baseless have since been confirmed,” Vance said, pointing to a 911 call made by an Ohio resident who claimed to see a Haitian immigrant stealing a goose.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources told local outlet WSYX on Friday it found no evidence that happened. The Ohio Department of Wildlife, meamwhile, told TMZ the viral photos of a man—whose identity or immigration status has never been confirmed—holding a goose were actually taken in Columbus, Ohio, and that the bird had actually been hit by a car.

After spending Sunday on multiple talk shows, amplifying inflammatory rhetoric about Haitian immigrants eating dogs, cats, and geese, and denying any responsibility for provoking the bomb threats which had visited Springfield this past week, Monday J.D. Vance called for a reduction in inflammatory rhetoric and pointed fingers at the Democrats.

You can't make this shit up.

It's basic fascist playbook and fact that any person with functioning brain can see through it never stops them from employing it again and again.

It also happens to work on some subset of people who have otherwise functional grey matter.

Probably not. How big is the "undecided" vote there?
