If you thought the adoring cultlike behavior many in the GOP exhibit toward failed former president Donald Trump was creepy, it now looks as if some in the MAGA cult are applying the same godlike fawning to Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who is Trump’s running mate in the 2024 race for the White House.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) was so delighted by Vance’s performance in Tuesday evening’s vice presidential debate that he decided it’d be a great idea to share an image of the Ohio senator with some minor facial modifications, according to HuffPost.
If you compare actual photos of Vance to the altered one, you can tell that his jawline has been sharpened and the color of his beard darkened. Here’s a side-by-side comparison:
The second photo also gives Vance some definite Damien Thorn vibes, a la “The Omen.” Imagining the Ohio Republican as the antichrist isn’t exactly a stretch when you consider that he wants to take away women’s reproductive rights and impose all sorts of new draconian laws on Americans.
It wasn’t long before social media took over and Collins was mocked for his posting.
How long do you suppose it’ll be until Republicans start comparing Vance to Jesus?
