JD Vance told his 7-year-old son to ' shut the hell up' while on a phone call with Donald Trump
“Son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,” Sen. J.D. Vance told the Full Send Podcast.
Father of the Year, this guy.

The party of family values.
He's weird and creepy, bit as a father of a 7 year old obsessed with Pokémon, Minecraft, superheroes etc, sometimes they do bang on about it. Telling them to shut up is not appropriate language but asking them to be quiet or to wait is perfectly fine.
Personally, I ask them to be quiet, then tell them I've got a song for them to listen to and out on black eyed peas. Then we all laugh together. Then I explain about peoples personal time and appropriate language and how they can sonetimes seem pushy and rude and if they are not careful people will be rude to them, in response.
This is a nothing of a story. He's dangerous and weird in many ways. Abrasive language to his young family just shows poor character. But its not a story. We knew much worse before already.
The story is that he proudly shared this story. He thinks telling his young child to shut the hell up because Trump is more important paints him in a good light.
This wasn't a hidden camera capturing a bad moment, this was Vance bragging.
It's a story because he's a weirdo monster that cares more about licking Trump's boots than loving his kids. Even if that's not the case, he told that story precisely to communicate how much he loves a man he previously described as a modern Hitler.
My 5yo has discovered minecraft. Do I want to listen to 12 straight minutes of wolf variants? No I do not. But I listen politely because he's sharing something that's important to him and that bond is precious to me. Vance is shit and my heart hurts for this little who's learning that's how people who love you talk to you
Lol, and just wait until they hit the YouTube videos about different characteristics.
Of course as parents we listen to their hobby, even if not interesting to us. However, they also need to learn that they cannot always be the Centre of attention, or they are in for a rude awakening when they aren't.
I think Vance did it clumsily but its fine to moderate when you spend quality time with your kids, without being an ass, like he was. Being an ass is the least of his crimes though.
then tell them I've got a song for them to listen to and out on black eyed peas.
You monster
