Vance’s RNC Acceptance Speech Went Over Like A ‘Wet Box Of Matches’ – Even Trump Looked Bored

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.

Congressman Calls J.D. Vance The ‘Hatched’ Child Of Trump And Marjorie Taylor Greene

Sen J.D. Vance (R-OH) could soon be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, and that’s a terrifying prospect, according to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who called Vance “the baby of MAGA and QAnon” during an appearance on MSNBC.

Speaking with host Nicolle Wallace, Goldman noted that just minutes after failed former president Donald Trump was shot in Pennsylvania, Vance was on social media blaming President Joe Biden and Democrats for what the FBI is calling a failed assassination attempt.

“I mean, it’s so extreme, you know, it’s like if Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump got together and hatched something, and that’s J.D. Vance,” Goldman explained. “It’s insane — some of his views. His extremism on abortion — no exception for rape or incest. He has said he would not have certified the last election and will not guarantee that he will certify this election. He has overtly supported Vladimir Putin and Russia in his effort to take over the democratic country of Ukraine.”

The New York Democrat added that Vance is a “neophyte and a novice who has flip-flopped over the last several years after being a NeverTrumper and calling him the potential next American Hitler to now selling his soul so that he can rise the ranks, and Donald Trump loves that.”

J.D. Vance is indeed a member of the extreme right wing of the Republican Party. He has suggested that women should stay in abusive marriages for the sake of their children and made it clear that he thinks all abortions should be banned in the United States, even if a pregnancy was the result of rape or incest.

In other words, Vance is the perfect running mate for Donald Trump because both of them are direct threats to the American republic.

WATCH J.D. Vance Pitch A Hissy Fit When NBC Host Fact-Checks Him To His Face

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) proved today during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he’s almost as thin-skinned and whiny as convicted felon Donald Trump, who reportedly has Vance on his shortlist of potential running mates.

Vance had his first meltdown when host Kristen Welker contradicted his claim that President Joe Biden has ordered the Department of Justice to investigate Trump to damage him politically.

“The prosecution of Donald Trump in New York, which I think now has fundamentally been thrown in doubt by this immunity case, it was one of the main guys was a Department of Justice official of the Biden administration who jumped ship to join a local prosecutor’s office to go after Donald Trump,” Vance alleged.

“Senator, that happens all of the time, people are appointed from Washington. The DOJ told Congress—, Welker pushed back.

That led Vance to go nuclear, acting like a child as he began raising his voice in the vain hope that speaking loudly would make his lies sound more feasible.

“Are you really saying, Kristen, it happens all the time! That the number –“

Welker then cut off the senator.

“Let me just finish this. It [Congress] reviewed all communications since Biden took office and found no contact between federal prosecutors and those involved with that case in New York. Can you stick to the substance of the question, though?”

In a second disagreement, Vance made the unproven claim that Democrats want to fund abortions up to birth, which he deemed “crazy,” which led Welker to again lay a brutal fact-check on him.

“As you know abortions, very few abortions, take place later in pregnancy almost always because there is a medical emergency.”

Much like Trump, Vance is a loose cannon who once said of the disgraced ex-president, Politico reported in 2021.

“I’m a Never Trump guy,” Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016, a clip used in both the new ads. “I never liked him.”

Both ads also feature a screenshot of a Vance tweet from October 2016. “My god what an idiot,” he wrote, referring to Trump.

Vance expressed a similar sentiment in other interviews and since-deleted tweets from that time, including publicly mulling the idea of supporting Hillary Clinton, calling Trump “noxious” and “reprehensible.”

J.D. Vance Gets Busted For Lying Like A Rug About Trump’s Record On Jobs And Tariffs

Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance got a brutal fact-check on live television earlier today when he attempted to lie about job creation and tariffs on imports during an appearance on Face the Nation.

Vance, who is also a leading contender to be former president Donald Trump’s running mate in this year’s election, was asked by host Margaret Brennan how more tariffs would make American products less expensive.

“So how is the Trump-Vance idea here going to help make things more affordable for people if you’re putting taxes on goods they’re purchasing from overseas?” she inquired.

“Well, I don’t necessarily buy the premise there, Margaret,” Vance responded. “If you apply tariffs, really what it is is you’re saying that we’re going to penalize you for using slave labor in China and importing that stuff in the United States.”

“What you end up doing is you end up making more stuff in America, in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, and in Michigan,” he insisted.

“That did not happen in the Trump administration, though,” Brennan noted.

“Well, it actually did happen in the Trump administration, Margaret,” Vance claimed. “Manufacturing jobs came back.”

Nope. That’s not even remotely true.

As a matter of fact, manufacturing jobs have just begun to come back in large numbers since President Joe Biden was elected, with PolitiFact noting that some 800,000 manufacturing jobs have been added since he took office:

  • Official federal data shows President Joe Biden, in office 45 months, is right on the number of manufacturing jobs created, although presidents do not control the economy single-handedly.
  • The first three-quarters of those job gains represented a return to pre-recession levels.
  • Comparing historical patterns 45 months out from a recession’s onset reveals Biden-era manufacturing employment to be the strongest in 72 years, and the second strongest since the end of World War II.

Trump, on the other hand, saw massive losses in the manufacturing sector, due in large part to the tariffs he imposed on China, Politico reported in September 2020.

Four years after he won the Midwest by vowing to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing workforce, President Donald Trump is campaigning for reelection on a job well done. The numbers tell a different story.

Trump’s anti-trade agenda and a pandemic-induced recession have combined to shutter factories and accelerate decades-old trends toward automation, eliminating hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, many for good, including in the Rust Belt states he needs to win in November.

The Biden-Harris campaign also joined in fact-checking Sen. Vance, who is willing to kiss Trump’s fat ass 24/7 if he thinks it will secure him a spot on the 2024 GOP ticket.

Nice try, senator, but you’re just as full of shit as the lying rapist you’re praying will choose you to be his VP.

WATCH: ABC Cuts JD Vance’s Mic When He Starts Spouting Bullsh*t

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) had his mic muted and interview ended when he began lying and spouting bullshit during a Sunday appearance on This Week with host George Stephanopoulos.

Stephanopoulos asked Vance about comments he’d made in a 2021 interview in which he declared, “I think that what Trump should do, like if I was giving him one piece of advice, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people, and when the courts, because you will get taken to court, and then when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say the Chief Justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.”

 “Fire everyone in the government, then defy the Supreme Court,” “You said every civil servant in the administrative state,”said. “Do you think it’s okay for the President to defy the Supreme Court?”

“No, no, George, I did not say fire everyone in the government,” Vance insisted. “I said replace the mid-level bureaucrats with people who are responsive to the administration.”

“You said every civil servant in the administrative state,” Stephanopoulos noted.

“Let me finish the answer,” Vance replied. “If those people aren’t following the rules, then, of course, you’ve got to fire them, and, of course, the president has to be able to run the government as he thinks he should.”

“The Constitution also says the president must abide by legitimate Supreme Court rulings, doesn’t it?” Stephanopoulos inquired.

“You’re talking about a hypothetical where the Supreme Court tries to run the military,” Vance said. “I don’t think that’s gonna happen, George, but, of course, if it did, the president would have to respond to it.”

“You didn’t say military in your answer, and you’ve made it very clear,” the ABC host countered. “You believe the president can defy the Supreme Court.”

“No, no, no, no, George.”

Vance’s mic was cut at that point and the program went to another segment.

J.D. Vance, like almost every member of today’s GOP, is a hack who would gladly approve of a right-wing president ruling the United States like a modern-day Caesar. And that alone is reason enough to vote them all out.
