“Vice President JD Vance – the guy who falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio – was upset after Politico reported ‘leaders of Young Republican groups’ shockingly ‘referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.’ However, Vance wasn’t noticeably outraged by the 251 times these GOP activists used vile terms or one’s proclaimed admiration for Adolf Hitler. He instead was upset by the ‘pearl clutching’ criticism of the chat group. … none of this edge-lording is surprising in a party that has swapped Ronald Reagan’s uplifting ‘City on a Hill’ slogan for ‘mass deportation’ placards.” (10/19/25)
