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.”

Wait. Did he just add the fried chicken to the reference? Loomers was just curry, wasn’t it? Wtf JD
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.
If that’s an impromptu response, that’s a sort of natural racism that 4chan would be envious of.
Very memorable, wasn’t it?
Now Lemmy World will be talking about him for days!
It’s like a Furby.
I’m not sure what’s worse, him being a sellout or that his price is so stupidly low.
Rather than take any ownership of his role in spreading false claims and incendiary rhetoric, Vance recoiled, saying that any suggestion that he’d been responsible for inciting the bomb threats in Springfield was “disgusting.” The Ohio senator scolded Bash for sounding like a “Democratic propagandist” as she called him out on his reckless lying.
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
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!
And does anyone really think his wife isn’t right there with him is selling out and endorsing the racism?
There is no lie he won’t tell if he thinks it might help him attain personal power
He knows the base wants him to do so.
Lots of Cucks for Trump in politics. Cruz was just the tip of the iceberg.
They truly fear upsetting the angry orange in any way shape or form. Its as if he is their god.
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.”
Opportunists. Human pieces of shit.
Selling out your wife to advance your career is small town family values.
Its the utter lack of corporate regulations and accountability that got us here. We need a SEC and DOJ with teeth that are actively pursuing the goal of protecting the American people. And we need our citizens secured, so that all of this foreign influence is less inducing because we are already taking care of them. Fucking hell, I feel like this is obvious. The only problem they are trying to solve here is how to get us to shut up in a way where they can keep their wealth and status.
