It was the biggest speech of his life, but Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) left many in the audience at the 2024 Republican National Convention less than impressed, including convicted felon and failed former president Donald Trump, who appeared terminally bored as he watched his running mate tell his life story.
NBC News notes that Vance highlighted his troubled past, which includes a mother who was addicted to drugs.
“Mamaw raised me as my mother struggled with addiction,” Vance recalled. “Mamaw was in so many ways a woman of many contradictions. She loved the Lord, she was a woman of very deep Christian faith, but she also loved the f-word. I’m not kidding, she could make a sailor blush.”
“Our movement is about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up,” Vance said. “And I am proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober.”
But despite his homespun phrasing, many were less than impressed with what Vance had to say while others found it laughable that he claimed today’s GOP is a “big tent.”
And of course there was the predictable ass-kissing of his master.
“They accused him of being a tyrant. They said he must be stopped at all costs. But how did he respond? He called for national unity, for national calm, literally right after an assassin nearly took his life. He remembered the victims of the terrible attack, especially the brave Corey Comperatore, who gave his life to protect his family. … And then President Trump flew to Milwaukee and got back to work.”
Well if it walks like a tyrant, talks like a tyrant, and acts like a tyrant, it sure as hell ain’t a duck, J.D.
Social media also weighed in on Vance’s speech.
Oh well, maybe J.D. will be more successful when he attempts to tell American women that he doesn’t want them to have any rights other than the right to be birthing vessels.
