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.”

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!
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?
You mean this bit speaking of registrations for the Covid vaccine in 2021?
"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.
How easy do we forget when Biden said…
Biden isn’t running anymore. What we remember or forget is irrelevant.
You need to download the latest version of the Republican attack points. Your’s are outdated.
You just don’t stop do you?
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.
Joe Biden corrected himself and said he “shouldn’t have been such a wise guy”. There was no need for Harris to correct or distance.
Where are Trump, Vance and Loomer’s corrections?
Do you see why your equivalence is false?
Wait until you find out that years ago he’d been seen with Kim Jong-Un!
Depending on his wife’s level of patience, I give this guy at most two years before he gets divorce papers in the post.
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.
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.”
Adding insult to injury. Nice going, JD.
I’m not sure what’s worse, him being a sellout or that his price is so stupidly low.
They truly fear upsetting the angry orange in any way shape or form. Its as if he is their god.
It’s like a Furby.
Dude. Trigger warning
Selling out your wife to advance your career is small town family values.
And does anyone really think his wife isn’t right there with him is selling out and endorsing the racism?
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.
Wait. Did he just add the fried chicken to the reference? Loomers was just curry, wasn’t it? Wtf JD
Very memorable, wasn’t it?
Now Lemmy World will be talking about him for days!
If that’s an impromptu response, that’s a sort of natural racism that 4chan would be envious of.
Next up he’ll add watermelon too.
They love adding racist dogwhistles don’t they?
I think we can stop calling it a dog whistle when they start just saying it.
Lots of Cucks for Trump in politics. Cruz was just the tip of the iceberg.
Now that we’re discussing Laura Lamer and her presumed copulation with Diaper Drump….
What happened to Melanomia, that faded model and speech duplicater that happened to be the official wife? Anyone seen her in the last few months?
More importantly, no more creepy comments about Ivanka. Now we know why: Ivanka is too old for Trump
Melanie is likely doing what she truly loves. Shopping in Manhattan and spending time with Hans the yoga instructor, while Trump is far far away
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.
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.
