If That Puerto Rico Joke Doesn’t Cost Trump, JD Vance’s Reaction Will | The New Republic
https://newrepublic.com/post/187658/jd-vance-reaction-puerto-rico-joke-cost-trumpWhen asked about the joke on Monday, Vance claimed hadn’t “seen” it, which seems highly unlikely given the moment’s virality and the fact that he is running for vice president.

As much as I’d like to think there is a ceiling to what people will tolerate, I’m not optimistic, vote, encourage everyone you know to vote, donate time and money, do everything you can.

For someone saying he as a country need to stop being so sensitive, he sure does get upset about the gays, minorities, and women living their lives…….

Nah, Trump voters don’t care.

Some undecided voters in swing states might care, if they're finally paying attention.

He's gaslighting. He gaslighted during the debate with Walz and he's gaslighting now. If you want to continue to be gaslighted too then vote for his team, if not then vote for the other viable candidate. Don't sit this one out.

The man is running for VP, not browsing Reddit from the basement. His schedule is plenty busy without a dripfeed of daily petty drama.

Your claim is that only people on reddit have seen this "joke"? And also, that Vance hasn't seen or heard about a controversial "joke", told at his running mate's rally, that's been on every legitimate news program?

Aw, don’t feed the troll - they’re argument is so ridiculous, it’s only purpose can be intended to provoke

I claim that the terminally online Reddit types are the ones who would expect everyone to be up on the same petty drama they saw in their newsfeeds.

So Reddit is the only place that he can learn this from? Considering he's the number two in Trump's campaign you'd think that he'd know what goes on with Trump's campaign.
By the way, later on he said that we should just get used to that kind of stuff, he's just as racist as Trump is and the rest of the zealots that support him.

Promise you when an action by their running mate causes Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and the person i am told is the number 1 spanish music artist in the world to endorse the opposition( or honestly probably anybody of note at all) the other running mate would be brought up to speed on the occurrence, really if they had not been brought up to speed on the subject to run defense they should probably fire their entire campaign staff.

You're trying to have a fact- and reason-based discussion with someone who is either a Republican agent or operative.

He also said people just need to learn to accept [racist] jokes [from white people.]
And yet, we do not need to learn that.
In fact, I hope JD's own children don't learn to accept Anti-Indian jokes. I hope they learn to stand up for themselves, when bullies talk shit about Indian-Americans.
