Elizabeth Warren calls Vance faux populist while party says he will ‘take women back decades’ on abortion
Democrats were quick to seize on Donald Trump’s decision to name as his running mate JD Vance, the hard-right Ohio senator whose past opposition to the former president and Republican nominee included calling him “America’s Hitler” but who now supports Trump with fiery populist rhetoric.
A Democratic party statement said: “Vance is an ultra-Maga extremist who’s ready to help Trump pass his Project 2025 agenda. Stop Trump-Vance. Vote Biden-Harris.”
Vance has praised Project 2025, a far-right blueprint for a second Trump term. Trump has tried to distance himself from the effort, which is co-ordinated by the Heritage Foundation. Democrats want to tie him to it.
Joe Biden’s campaign warned that Vance should not be trusted to put country over party, as Mike Pence did as vice-president when, on 6 January 2021, he refused to do as Trump demanded and block certification of Biden’s election win.
That’s why he was chosen.
Yup. He certainly wasn’t the best pick politically as he’s just a mini-Trump and won’t pull in any voters who might not have otherwise voted for him.
Buy guns.
And don’t skip range day
Extreme Maga sounds like a Mountain Dew flavor.
The other day at work my wife saw a customer with a giant decal on the back of his truck that said ULTRA GIGGA MAGA.
Dang. That’s like the Herpes Simplex 10 of political stances.
I want to see ads featuring this “America’s Hitler” quote running 24/7 until the election.
Let’s be real here: Nobody in the GOP was really going to not enable it.
They’ve only been enabling it for 8 years now. Why would we think they all the sudden won’t enable it?
Don’t underestimate Vance. He’s very smart, well connected, and far more dangerous to have in Trump’s ear than Pence ever was.
You’re not wrong there.
Wasn’t that to be expected of any pick?
Yes. The days of them being unprepared and not knowing how things work to enact their fascist agenda are over. They’ve been carefully planning this for 4 years now.
JD will do anything daddy asks him to.
Fascism. It’s called fascism. Buncha cowards
