VP Vance Smears Talarico With Homophobic Lies

We had Trump fantasizing about John Husted's ass and now we get this from JD Vance.

Vance stopped in Texas to stump for Ken Paxton and Republicans for the midterms.

The rally was parked in front of his Boeing C-32.

"Now, before we get started, I love you too, sir, in a totally platonic way, to be clear," Vance said. "I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

Racism and homophobia define the Republican Party.

Vance sounds like a teenager spewing gay insults in a schoolyard.

Open thread.

JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

Trump Operative's Denial Explodes In His Face As His Talarico Confession Surfaces On Tape

A former Trump campaign staffer's claim that Senate nominee James Talarico (D-TX) was in an Ohio psychiatric hospital unraveled as audio surfaced of the MAGA operative contradicting his own denials about conservative outlets declining the story over legal concerns.

Rhein Amacher, who says he worked on President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, placed the calls to the hospital, the Texas outlet Current Revolt reported Sunday.

Current Revolt later reported that Amacher had said during an X Space, a live audio chat, that news outlets passed on the story over legal concerns. Amacher adamantly denied the account Sunday night, and Current Revolt answered with a recording of his remarks.

Talarico had been off the campaign trail for nine days with what his campaign called the flu, Rolling Stone reported.
