DNC Plays Brutal Montage of Trump and Vance Saying ‘Weird’ Things: ‘Hannibal Lecter – He’s a Wonderful Man’

 

Day two of the Democratic National Convention unfolded on Tuesday night, with convention organizers playing a montage of former President Donald Trump and his running mate being “weird.”

Democrats have been hammering Trump and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio over controversial comments they have made. Trump’s work in this area is virtually unparalleled in American politics, but the newcomer Vance has also provided plenty of fodder in a short amount of time thanks to a slew of appearances on right-wing television and podcasts in recent years.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her vice presidential running mate Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota have made hay of the issue. Vance has come under fire in recent weeks for claiming the Democratic Party is run by “childless cat ladies” and has advocated that parents get additional votes for each child they have.

On Tuesday night in Chicago, the DNC aired a montage of comments by Trump and Vance:

TRUMP: Nobody’s ever called me weird. I’m a lot of things, but weird I’m not.

TRUMP: The late, great Hannibal Lecter – he’s a wonderful man.

TRUMP: Know what I’d do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every time.

TRUMP: Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.”

TRUMP: She said Kamala has one big advantage. She’s a beautiful woman… I’m a better-looking person thank Kamala!

TRUMP: He says, “You’re not gonna be a dictator, are you?” I said, “Nope, no, no, other than day one.

TRUMP: I’d like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for having made yet another great deal.

TRUMP: Kim Jong-un I had a good relationship with. He’s a tough, smart guy.

TRUMP: Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath.

TRUMP: Well, they’re the weird ones. JD is not at all.

VANCE: The people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don’t have kids at all.

VANCE: Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of those children.

TRUMP: In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.
