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.
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.
I’m shocked at how incompetent a public speaker he is.
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.
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.
