J.D. Vance brushed off Laura Loomer’s racist comments, despite being married to an Indian American woman.
J.D. Vance would apparently rather protect Donald Trump’s decision to pal around with self-described “proud Islamophobe” and 9/11 conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer than stand up for his own wife.
Trump has been seen with Loomer several times over the last couple of weeks, with the pair getting eyebrow-raisingly close (Trump’s hand has been spotted in the small of Loomer’s back) while Melania Trump has largely remained out of the limelight. Loomer attended a 9/11 memorial service with Trump and also accompanied him to the presidential debate.
In an interview Sunday with NBC News, Vance was asked directly about his and his wife Usha Vance’s opinions on some of Loomer’s overt racism, including her claim that Vice President Kamala Harris’s ascendency to the Oval Office would make the White House “smell like curry.” But Vance wouldn’t take a stand against the alt-right ally.
…
“Do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don’t,” Vance continued. “I also don’t think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No. Kamala Harris is running for president, and whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.”
Edit: i didn't make it clear enough. This is parody combining the racist shit JD just said with the racist shit Trump said previously. In no way does this reflect my actual viewpoint.
This is wildly racist, and also full of shit. She went to a historically black university, joined a black sorority, and has always been open about her dual Black/Indian heritage.
Your racist talking points aren't going to land here, fuckhead.
I think many of the people downvoting and/or reporting you (I did both) are aware that you're joking. The problem is that your joke isn't funny. It's wildly offensive and racist.
I get what you're saying, "I don't actually believe the racist stuff I said," but we're concerned with the part of that thought that you're glossing over: racist stuff you said. Probably should just delete your comment.
Just realize that comedy doesn't give you carte blanche to shout racist stereotypes and move on.
I also eat curry (actually made some myself last saturday) and I'm a white cis male, so the least likely target of any -cism (at least any that can be taken seriously)?
Because Harris is both Black and Indian heritage and curry and fried chicken are the two foods most stereotypically associated with each aspect of her heritage. It's not like he picked two random foods.
On one hand, Melania is a horrible person in her own right. On the other, I don't think any other single person has done more to humiliate and infuriate Cadet Bonespurs.
I liked it when she refused to move to Washington and when she made the White House look like a torture chamber for Christmas.
She has some sort of book coming out and is set to do dozens of interviews but I’m sure they’ll be extremely controlled publicity interviews where she just says cliches.
More than anything else - more than an opportunist or a hypocrite or a liar or a fraud - Vance's primary attribute and defining characteristic really is simply that he's an asshole.
Rather than take any ownership of his role in spreading false claims and incendiary rhetoric, Vance recoiled, saying that any suggestion that he’d been responsible for inciting the bomb threats in Springfield was “disgusting.” The Ohio senator scolded Bash for sounding like a “Democratic propagandist” as she called him out on his reckless lying.
She's made very few appearances with him; largely following Melania's lead and staying out of everything as much as possible.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the moment they lose the election, she tells him to fuck off and divorces him. Privately she's likely disgusted to find out that her husband is a feckless sycophant who without hesitation would sell out his own family for an attempt at power.
and when that happens, I guarantee she'll then be smeared all over the right wing news as some greencard grabber who only married him to infiltrate america.
Laura Loomer does not peg Donald Trump, These rumors are completely unsubstantiated, we will find the people that are spreading the rumor that Laura Loomer pegs Donald Trump and tell them to stop the fake news!
Did the motherfucker forget to add watermelon to the list? It's amazing that even when he isn't trying the racism just flows out like spit dripping down his lip
I see Vance has been trained well in the Trump tactic of "nothing I say or do influences people's actions and I have no responsibility as a federal candidate."
Its the utter lack of corporate regulations and accountability that got us here. We need a SEC and DOJ with teeth that are actively pursuing the goal of protecting the American people. And we need our citizens secured, so that all of this foreign influence is less inducing because we are already taking care of them. Fucking hell, I feel like this is obvious. The only problem they are trying to solve here is how to get us to shut up in a way where they can keep their wealth and status.
How easy do we forget when Biden said black people don't know how to use the internet... (Gaslight warning: I am not talking about the tweet alleging that he said that, I am talking about a statement that I heard come out of his mouth with my own ears) or when he said you're not really black if you vote for Trump... Because he's such a great judge of what being black really means?
VP Harris chose to run while she was the incumbent Vice President. She is attached to what is commonly known as the Biden-Harris Administration. She had the opportunity to correct his comments or to distance herself from them when he made them. Because she did not, she must face the same penalty every other politician faces. The same standard that you're holding Trump to when he did not distance himself from JD Vance who does not distance himself from Laura Loomer.
"The other thing we found is — and I’m sorry to go on, but this is really important to me. The other part — portion is, a lot of people don’t know how to register. Not everybody in the community — in the Hispanic and the African American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and/or inner-city districts — know how to use — know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreens or at the particular store.
So we’re also — I’ve committed to spend a billion dollars on public education to help people figure out how they can get in there. That’s why we’re also trying to set up mass vaccination centers, like places in stadiums and the like."
Less about the Internet in general and more about the specific vaccine registration process.
Oh wow you heard it with your own ears??!! Of course those dirty DEMONCRATS probably enlisted BIG TECH to delete all the proof from the internet. Thank God we have you to tell us, without any proof whatsoever, what really happened!
