In a contentious and misleading post on social media, JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, launched an attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Vance falsely accused Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif of being transgender, causing widespread condemnation and backlash from human rights advocates.

Wouldn’t surprise me tbh. The stereotypical Republican voter isn’t known for reading 900+ pages of ANYTHING, let alone policy and strategy proposals 😄

The tend to like the Sparks Notes Jesus who was born and then immediately killed off. There’s a whole lot of “liberal talking points” in between those two events and it’s just easier to pretend those parts doesn’t exist.
