JD Vance is Totally Freaking Out Over Being Called ‘Weird’ and Keeps Making it Worse With His WEIRD Tweets

He's probably been called that by a LOT more people than Kamala Harris.

It has to be tough being JD Vance these days. I mean, he’s had a rough couple of weeks now, since he was picked to be Trump’s running mate.

First of all, if he’s in any way smart, he knows the baggage that comes with even being associated with Trump, let alone seen as his right-hand man. Then again, he also has to know Trump doesn’t have right-hand men. He has lackeys.

He accepted a job offer from the worst boss in the world.

In fact, he accepted a job offer from a guy who will throw him under the bus at the drop of a hat if he thinks it can get him out of trouble somehow.  Trump, depending on how the election goes, may or may not say Vance “deserves” to be hanged. You know, the way he said about Pence.

But it looks like current baggage isn’t what JD is worried about.

Instead, he’s pretty hung up on the Democrats’ new word that’s being used to describe him (and the guy he’s running under) — Weird. That particular term seems to have struck a chord. Especially when Kamala says it.

Ever since the Vice President called him out in a tweet as “weird and creepy,” Vance has been pretty upset.

He tweeted back at Kamala, posting a video of her introducing herself with pronouns at a CNN presidential town hall back in 2019, using the half-attempt at a caption “JD Vance is weird.”

He meant that in the “she says I’M weird” sense, but Harris explained that even at the time — she did it for blind members of the audience. There is nothing weird about showing kindness to the disabled.

There is, however, plenty weird about Vance and his platform alongside Trump. The number of ways and times he’s suggested regulating women’s bodies are off the charts. He called women with no kids “childless cat ladies.” He even tried to say that Democrats would call him a racist for liking Diet Mountain Dew.

Heck, Vance is so weird that he’s running for Vice President and didn’t think to have anyone scrub social media he’s in:

There’s really not a whole lot Vance can do to shake the weird vibe that people get from him. There’s no better proof of that than the fact that some guy tweeted (completely falsely) that Vance had a section in his Hillbilly Elegy memoir about him having sex with a couch, and everyone totally believed it.

Sorry, JD. The moniker’s not going away any time soon.

And JD is trying to fight it, try to lean it to it and act like it doesn’t bother him. But oh man…you can tell he’s FUMING:

People on social media were quick to call him out:
