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.

He thinks it’s okay to make up harmful stories because the late night comedians won’t leave the couch thing alone. What a maroon.
Maybe they’d leave it alone if he left the couches alone.
I wonder if this is just damage control for Trump? JD is pure slime, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is just being thrown under the bus on this one, since it seems to be sticking as the dumbest part of the debate.
Nah let him cook (himself). If they swap him for someone else things might actually go better for Trump.
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.
Fair point
Kind of want this limp dick idiot to stick around. The more damage he does the funnier and better it is for all of the sane(ish) people in our country.
I didn’t know Vance until he was picked as running mate. My list of people with punchable face keeps getting longer.
Why are we giving Trump an excuse to drop his failure of a running mate?
I thought the calls were for Vance to resign from the the Ohio Senator position.
Right? I say let them keep the anchor offboard the sinking ship. Vance has been an embarrassment from the beginning and it’s funny to see them take his Ls.
But no calls for Trump to resign?
Who would he even be replaced with?
I hear the headless body of Spiro Agnew is on the shortlist.
The skeleton of abraham lincoln.
That would take over the news cycle nicely.
What a day…
