Just about every time J.D. Vance — the most unpopular vice presidential nominee in American history — opens his mouth, he ignites a firestorm of criticism and likely shaves another point off the Republican presidential ticket’s polling numbers.
On Sunday, in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Vance admitted that he and Donald Trump made up a baseless and racist story about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” said Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio.
Ironically, Vance’s attempt to point out imagined “suffering” has led to actual suffering by his own constituents.
Interesting read, thanks.
I’ve grown cynical and assume any hard luck life “memoir” is bullshit and propaganda for whatever political slant the author wants to use other people (or at least the socially accepted stereotype of) to try to justify so I skipped reading it.
Sounds like I didn’t miss much.
Pretty much nail on the head here. Its basically “something something bootstraps: the novelization”
