GOP vice presidential nominee shocks CNN interviewer

Just about every time J.D. Vance — the most unpopular vice presidential nominee in American history — opens his mouth, he ignites a firestorm of criticism and likely shaves another point off the Republican presidential ticket’s polling numbers.

On Sunday, in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Vance admitted that he and Donald Trump made up a baseless and racist story about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” said Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio.

Ironically, Vance’s attempt to point out imagined “suffering” has led to actual suffering by his own constituents.

      Resign from the senate.

      Rather than just going back to that job after the campaign.

      This campaign is literally zero cost for him as it stands. He’s a senator and will continue being a senator if he loses.

      He should be forced to resign for things he’s done and admitted doing publicly.
