JD Vance resumed his role as Trump’s attack dog at a town hall in Greensboro, North Carolina Initially, Vance showed a concilatory side. “If the message that our country sends after 25 million illegal aliens coming into this country is: ‘You get to stay here, you get to collect housing benefits, you get to collect welfare benefits,’ while folks in western North Carolina are struggling to survive, we will never have a border in this country again,” he said. Things took a more obscure turn when host Patrick said “the globalist view of ‘own nothing and be happy’ is not what the American people want.” Vance responded that “they want you to live in a pod, eat bugs and own nothing.” JD Vance suggested Democrats want people to “live in a pod, eat bugs and own nothing” Returning to policy, the Ohio senator responded to a question from a retired health care worker who was worried that Trump would cut Social Security. This strange question led to an even stranger moment: Vance did an impersonation of Harris, saying, “Well, I was raised in a middle-class family,” in a mocking tone, before adding: “I forgot the awkward cackle afterwards.” Needless to say, it seems the civil persona has slipped — and the attack dog is out on the trail for Trump again.
