Recent JD Vance interview went something like this:

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: "Senator, yes or no: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"

JD Vance: "Let me ask you a question. Is it OK that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, which independent analysts have said cost Trump millions of votes?"

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: "Senator Vance, I’m going to ask you again, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"

JD Vance: "Did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested cost Trump millions of votes? I think that’s the question."

🤔

This always cracks me up. He's mad about big tech censoring political information, but wants HIS political information censored. Probably not even bright enough to realize how pathetic he sounds.

It's unbelievable how nearly half of America wants this guy to be their next VP.

They should have just ended the interview there, aired that bit and then said "since Vance refuses to answer questions honestly and keeps using weasel words and counter questions there is no honest conversation to be had. JD Vance ducks couches and puts his cast iron skillet in the dishwasher.... He is a monster.

That was an excruciating interview to listen to. He started off kinda sounding sane, but as time went on, more of his fringe ideas started showing, culminating to that point.

If Hunter is so bad, wait til he hears about Trump's children
