See how Vance defends Trump's vulgar post about Harris and Clinton

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance described Donald Trump as a “political candidate” who “isn’t stodgy” and “likes to have some fun,” shrugging off how the former president reposted a vulgar meme surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. #CNN #News

If you wanted a closed border why did Trump kill the bill?

As someone whose father committed suicide when they were young, there is nothing fun or funny about re-traumatizing someone who's suicidal. In JD Vance's own words this man can go to hell.

If your concerned about crime and rape, why would you vote for a convicted felon/sex offender?

What a disgusting person this JD Vance...don't even apologize for making fun of that poor girl 😮

[MarincaGheorghe]

The prefix with Vance talking about "lifting people up" and then the moderator mentioning Trump deranged posts was priceless.

[tamipruitt]

Your "joking" is bullying, JD. Just like Trump, never willing to apologize for anything.

[keastep]

It wasn't a joke. It was purposely malicious. JD Vance is unempathetic and sad human being.

[DJE]

Mr Vance is full of bs. As for the vulgar social media posts by Mr Trump, avoided answering the question. I have no confidence in JDV at all.

[pdryo]

Vance's comments regarding Trump's re-post of sexually explicit comments with a photo of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris are disgraceful.

[rosegeographic]

CNN no longer interviews; they just let Vance speak with no fact checks.

Tulsi and RFK are not democrats. They left the party.

[williebanfordlll]

This guy is a clown. We don’t want Trump back

[denisedelgiudice]

Posting a joke? Bullying a young woman who was a teenager under pressure isn't a joke.

[TheGiggles]

Harris needs to cut an ad talking about the mental health crisis in America while highlighting that Vance thinks it's just "fun and jokes".

[AbcDef-gzrn]

The following should have been asked
Q: Why did Trump not close the border when he was in office??!!
Q: Why did more people come through the border whwn he was in office??!!
Q: Why did he have the maga Republicans kill the bill to close the border??!!

What a creepy politician. He has a lot in common with his boss

[lindabiondi]

the man is seriously disturbed. his ongoing efforts to reinvent himself shows real self loathing. He then brutally attacks others, especially women, for the decisions they've made in their lives. More than weird. Dangerous.

[zolononame]

Let's take Vance at his word that he really didn't know she was suicidally depressed at the time. You don't apologize once you do find out and instead respond with "it's just a joke, bro"? What an asshat.

"John. I'm not going to apologize for having fun. I have the right to make fun because politics is so boring. Who cares that she contemplated suicide back then, it's funny now." FO Creepy Vance!

[Mrf.]

A true republican would never vote for a convicted felon
