Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) theorized that Democrats consistently referring to him as “weird” is because Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is being run by young social media interns who might have been bullied in school.
Vance joined the Full Send podcast this week where he discussed becoming Donald Trump’s running mate and at one point the conversation turned to the messaging from Democrats branding Vance as “weird” based on resurfaced clips of him criticizing “childless” Democrats and more.
Vance said in the podcast episode, released Friday, that he’s just a normal family man.
“I don’t know if it’s something they focus-grouped and pushed on us. I’m a pretty normal guy, I’ve got a wife and kids and I like to hang out and watch football. And I care about this stuff because I care about the country,” he said.
He added that his “best guess” is that social media interns are “latching” onto the message, but he doesn’t believe it will resonate with voters in November.
“My attitude on this is: my best guess — this is just a total guess — is that her campaign is run by a lot of 24-year-old social media interns who maybe were bullied in school and so now they’ve decided they’re going to do the same thing. They’re going to take that attitude of the middle school social scene and try to run a campaign on it,” Vance said. “I just don’t think most Americans buy it or care.”

Trump responded to the “weird” attacks on him and Vance in an interview with Laura Ingraham this week where he exclaimed that it’s Harris who is “weird.”
“Just plain weird. You know who’s plain weird? She’s plain weird. She’s a weird person,” he said about the vice president. “Look at her past. Look at what she does. And look at what she used to say about herself. And I won’t get into it. What she used to say and who she was compared to what she said. Starting in about 2016, she became a totally different person only for political reasons.”
