https://vxtwitter.com/JDVance1/status/1511311385543815180 - Seriously look at this campaign ad.

And don’t believe his sob story about his mother, I looked into it… She was an RN who kept raiding the controlled substances cabinet, had nothing to do with “Mexicans forcing drugs on her”

So? Do YOU hate Mexicans? Don’t YOU like to have an easy scapegoat available when your mother raided the pharmacy again?

Hahahaha the community notes.

JD Vance’s mother utilized her position as a nurse to steal prescribed medication from her patients, not because of undocumented immigrants.

I don’t even know what to say. It reminds me of the dumbass whitebread fascist version of Sally Struthers hawking “degrees” back in the 90s.

Right? I wish all Republican ads were this blatant, I wish they had been back in 2012… We’d never have been in this situation to begin with.

Basically, like… How the hell did anyone greenlight this? I’m starting to think Vance is the GOP’s biggest weakness right now. Ya know his name wasn’t always Vance, he actually changed it because he had trauma associated with his previous name due to parental abuse.

And yet he wants to ban transpeople from changing THEIR names…

Hypocrite

I looked it up to see what his name originally was. I think he actually changed it twice, right?
