‘The middle-school taunts don’t bother me. What bothers me and what offends me is … ‘
By Joe Kovacs
Ever since former President Donald Trump selected Sen. JD Vance as his 2024 running mate, Democrats have been calling the Ohio Republican “weird.”
Now, the senator is firing back on national television.
On “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel, anchor Maria Bartiromo asked Vance directly about the W-word:
“What do you say about this new strategy to call you ‘weird’ from the Democrats?” Bartiromo posed.
Vance responded: “I think that it’s a lot of projection, frankly, Maria, from people who want to give transgender hormones to 9-year-old kids and want biological males to play in women’s sports.
“Look, I’m a husband, I’m a father, I’m happily married, and I love my life, and I’m doing this because I want to be a good public servant who fixes the problems of the Democrats.
“They can call me whatever they want to. The middle-school taunts don’t bother me. What bothers me and what offends me is what Kamala Harris has done to this country over three-and-a-half years.
“She’s opened up the American southern border, she cast the deciding vote on things that caused skyrocketing inflation and the affordability crisis.
“I was in Georgia yesterday. They have a terrible housing-affordability problem in the state of Georgia because Kamala Harris shot interest rates through the roof and then she welcomed in millions of illegal aliens to compete with Americans for scarce homes.
“I don’t care what they call me. I just wish they would stop screwing opportunity country, and because I don’t think they’re able to do that themselves, President Trump and I are going to beat them in November.”
