If my interview with J.D. Vance confirms anything, it is that he is a fascinating guy. He is so interesting. And it is amazing to me to see the media pile on this guy like he is the devil. Does he seem like the devil to you?
It is just absurd that this is happening at the same time as they are running cover for Kamala Harris. They are literally scrubbing her record. You have nonpartisan websites who called her the ‘most liberal senator in the Senate’ that are now removing that. They just so happened to take it down this week and then claim, ‘That was our policy. Every once in a while we take another look.’
Oh, really? It just so happened to hit this week? You just decided to make her not the most liberal senator? By the time she had been labeled that, her senatorial days were over. So, what changed in terms of her liberal Senate policies? Nothing, other than she ran for president.
Then there is the ‘border czar’ nonsense. Do you know how many times the mainstream media called her that? And forget that label, they would all just say ‘she was in charge of the border,’ or ‘she was placed in charge of the border,’ or ‘she was in the lead position in charge of the border.’ Now it’s like, ‘What border? That was Alejandro Mayorkas.’
That same media is who decided to make Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment some national hurricane – and it is not going to be just this. Because Kamala Harris is a woman of mixed race, they are going to make everything about race and gender.
Any small comment that Vance has ever made or that Trump has ever made is going to be ginned up and turned into a national news story because this is how they motivate their base: ‘The Republicans are racist. The Republicans are sexist. We’re the only good party. Ignore the fact that we are going to mutilate your 14 year olds. Ignore the fact that your daughter is going to face partial paralysis in a volleyball game because we insist on making biological boys have access to her sports and her private spaces. That is pro-woman even if you are too stupid to understand it.’
The trick is so old and watching them all rush to condemn a comment like this has just gotten so tiresome. I have seen it so many times now. For some of our younger viewers who are experiencing this, it might seem genuine. It might seem like they are really mad. But once you get to be my old age, you start to see the patterns for what they are. This is a manipulation.
Why do you think Kamala Harris potential vice presidential running mates are all over J.D. Vance? Do you think it is genuine outrage?
This is not to mention the number of things that the left has said about women on the right. They were calling Casey DeSantis the “Walmart Melania.” The New York Times referred to Melania Trump as a “mannequin” when Trump was running the first time. They make references to Amy Coney Barrett and The Handmaid’s Tale. That’s fine. You can do all of that to Republican women.
You can say, as Gloria Steinem did about Sarah Palin, “a woman only a man could love.” That is no problem. But if you use the phrase “childless cat lady” in sort of a flip moment on a cable news show, you are the devil? Alright. We report, you decide.
