    Older comments by Trump’s 2024 running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance ®, have recently resurfaced in which he said he found it strange “that we’ve tried to turn a very tragic moment, Simone Biles quitting the Olympic team, into this act of heroism.”

    “And I think it reflects pretty poorly on our sort of therapeutic society, that we try to praise people not for moments of strength, not for moments of heroism, but for their weakest moments,” Vance continued.

    No matter the issue, there’s always a JD Vance quote saying something awful about women.

      Sounds more like fascist fetishization of the strong and disparaging of the weak to me.

      Ahahaha what a pathetic excuse for an overly stinky piece of weird shit.

      Productivity >>> The health of the peasants.

      This faux tough guy shit republicans keep pushing actually affects and hurts people.
