JD Vance cannot tell a joke. He doesn't understand humor or basic human decency.

[seagoingcook]

JD doesn't realize Hulk Hogan isn't a everyday American worker.

[patirvin-bzpg]

His definition of every-day American workers needs a strong revision. This poor man is so unhappy. He needs to stop, get therapy, and quietly go away.

[williamrodrigues]

So he thinks Hulk Hogan is an "everyday working person"?

[Skycouncil_Sentinel_]

America collectively throws up in its mouth thinking about JP Mandell's threat

[robburton]

In his attempt to remake his image, rather than changing his name 3 times, not once did he try to change who he was. Smh.

[sonsil]

Is he suggesting that the Democrats didn't have everyday Americans in the Democratic convention?

[cindy]

Typically when a person can’t properly deliver a joke it’s because they are in fact a joke. Vance should seriously consider, crawling away and hiding under a couch.

[MatthewJesusWarns]

He's not only weird, but totally creepy!

[andyfabo]

No laugh, just a sigh of relief from the crowd.

[roselladeguzman]

Hulk Hogan is nothing to brag about. Talk about reaching. Poor thing

[Moby-is]

I bet his couch wishes he kept his shirt on

[a.m.mcaloon]

How did Trump pick this odd fellow?

Did they vet him at all?

[marshamercer]

He doesn't care about the American workers. And how much did you pay hogan to appear.

[paulgabel]

You have Hulk Hogan. Not something to brag about.

[LindaMerz-nx]

James David please keep your shirt on. He said, "We have Hulk Hogan". What does that even mean? He really is weird. 😮

[karlheinzegger]

Weird doesn't even begin to describe that guy.😅😅😅

[LilaB-fo]

Did he really think anyone but Trump was impressed by having Hulk Hogan at the convention. He's a has been from the 1980s.

[theslitherysylvie]

I hope his wife is filing for divorce as we speak. Get those kids away from this guy!

[technocolossus]

Dude was taking the temperature of the room with that shirt bit.
