JD Vance says he’s ‘so over’ people getting offended at racist jokes in defense of MSG rally comedian
The Ohio senator weighed in on the widespread backlash to Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico
It's always "just a joke" when people get offended.
This is their whole position on wokeness. I can say all the offensive shit I want and not be held accountable, but if you offend my sensibility, I am gonna clutch my pearls so hard I'll squeeze a diamond outta my cooch.
"I'm so over people complaining about racism," says wealthy white politician from the racist party. More news at 11.
Oh, really? You’re sick of everyone being offended?
Well you can't expect Republicans to not be hypocritical snowflake assholes, it's officially written into their religious and party values.
What's Whitmer's Dorito video?
Looks like it was a political ad that weirdly mashed up a communion parody with commentary on a bill that was supposed to boost domestic semiconductor production: https://heavy.com/entertainment/gretchen-whitmer-dorito-doritos-video/
This is the first I’m hearing about this Doritos video, and yeah, it’s a little silly and straight outta context, but it’s nowhere as wildly weird as thinking that a goof about a dommy nommy mommy feeding her pet is sacrilegious.
The paradox of intolerance.
This doesn't fit. It's just hypocracy. They aren't intolerant of some things because it hurts people. They are intolerant of things they don't like and intolerant of people disagreeing with them.
So, the couch fucker invited him. Got it.
The party of fuck your feelings has a lot to say about people's feelings.
I'd like someone to explain what the joke is in calling one of our colonies a "trash island"
Please, some big brained masculine conservative explain it to me.
"We think all non-whites are trash! Ha ha! Don't you get it? Garbage people on an island make it a garbage island! I say it with the intent of making other white people laugh so it's ok!"

"How come they can say it but I can't that's the real racism here."
The jokes were the least-offensive thing about that fucking rally.
Well, looks like many people are not "so over it".
Also, should we really "get over" pushing back at racist shit?
Your argument is weak, you get an F. Go sit down and think about what you did.God damn this fucking guy hates his mom. Should try cid.
This is why you can’t use The Independent for shit especially during election season.
“I haven’t seen the joke. Maybe it’s a stupid racist joke, maybe it’s not,” Vance said.
“I’m not going to comment on the specifics of the joke, but I think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the United States of America. I’m just I’m so over it.”
If you send this article to someone who wants to vote for Trump, they are going to correctly excoriate you. I know this because the last time I used The Independent this was was 2016 when Trump first and The Independent couldn’t back up its headlines then. In the last eight years it still can’t. If we take Vance at face value, which we know we can’t but we have to since that’s the quote The Independent chose to use to create their headline, it’s fake news.
In general, The Independent generates clickbait headlines that pull in a specific group of people that want to agree with the article and won’t verify who then send it to another group of people who will engage with the content to try and verify. This increases their engagement while spreading a mix of blatant lies and loose misinformation. Your life will be better if you filter out The Independent (something I haven’t yet bothered to do on Lemmy but did immediately on a new Reddit account; election season might finally change this) especially if you’re the audience for the headlines.
Monosodium glutamate held a rally?
Some call Uncle Roger! 😮
Also what I thought! Anyway it's Maddison square garden
I'm so over people who visit and don't pay for THEIR Stanley Steamer bill. Also he jizzed on my couch.
So .... he's OK with being openly racist?
That's one of the shitty quality I dislike about conservatives, especially far right and ultra conservatives. They know that the things they believe are wrong, immoral, unethical and inequitable so they have to say how they feel in secret or in coded language or to obfuscate everything they say and deny everything if they are called on it.
I dislike them because they are cowardly for being racist ... I also dislike them for being cowardly in their denial that they are racist.
Look around you. Yes, they're OK with being openly racist. It's staggering to me that you're just finding this out.
By all means, defend the "joke". I suggest doing it especially in Pennsylvania.
I’m so over people saying horrific things and getting upset at being held accountable for it
You can do racist jokes, no subject is off limits to a good comedians. They still exsist. The problem is when you are not joking and supporting people that openly support nazi or klan believes.
Example: Bill Burr makes a black joke, I laugh.
Michael Richards or Roseanne Barr makes the same joke, I believe we see into there actual believes.
Yeah the term "racist joke" causes a ton of unintentional damage. Invoking the stereotypes, even playing a character who believes them with a big "kick me" target on your back, isn't racist. It's absurdist. Because racism is absurd. And laughing at absurd things is funny. Laughing dumb shit out of the room is overwhelmingly the most effective (not to mention most fun!) way to get rid of it.
These nazi cunts say stupid shit and mean it. Then they bitch out and try to use joking, which they weren't doing, as an excuse, with the poker face of a lying toddler.
And then fucking people on the left refuse to acknowledge the difference and nobody wants to hang out because it's like inviting HR to a party.
rickles! he was the king of risky but funny
Jimmy Carr will specifically tell offensive jokes, he understands what a joke is and how to write a good one.
Vaguely racial put-down jokes can be funny, but they require a great deal of context and subtext to work. Being republican narrows the options to taking the role of the heel already, but during a rally where voters are meant to be fed information that makes them excited, I can’t see it.
Somebody should tell JD Vance that watermelon jokes are older than political correctness, by about a hundred years.
(they date back to reconstruction when watermelon was one of the first cash crops the former enslaved people were farming)
Tee hee, I'm just a silly little JD Vance, all this yelling is so boring, can't we just do our little racism amongst ourselves without the woke scolds getting upset for once?
If people don’t laugh at your offending joke it’s not a joke. It’s just offending.
JD Vance: "Bad things are a fact of life. Vote for the party that doesn't believe things can or should get better."
Yeah, why should people be upset when the president of the country is promoting the idea that they're worthless because of some unchangeable innate traits? Silly.
Couch fucker says what?
Besides the defeat of nazism, the next best thing about Trump losing is never having to see asshole JD again (except for Ohioans)
Insert James Acaster here: “What’s the matter, guys? Too challenging for you?“
"I'm not offended by it, why should anybody else be offended by it?"
Let me guess - he wouldn’t shut the fuck up about the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics.
