How weird is JD Vance? He likes books urging “patriots” to wear “aluminum foil headdresses” to offset Jewish space lasers.
In the weeks since he was nominated as former President Donald J. Trump’s vice-presidential running mate for the 2024 election, Sen. JD Vance (R. OH) has come under fire on allegations which may best be summed up in one word: weirdness.
Recently, Vance blurbed a new book by conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec attacking the left. The volume, “Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them),” alleges that there has always existed on the left a cadre of persons “who hate and kill… don’t believe what they say and write… and only want to destroy.”
Vance told Meet the Press host Kristin Welker that he found the book a “good read,” which he said “contained things which I’ve believed in for ages.” How weird is that?
Posobiec has in the past promulgated baseless conspiracy theories, including “Pizzagate,” which holds that Russia’s hacking of the DNC in 2016 disclosed a notorious Democrat-led pedophile ring which operated out of a pizza parlor in the national’s capital. He has also argued for an authoritarian scheme of government. And finally, Posobiec urges patriots to wear “aluminum foil headdresses” to offset Jewish space lasers. When asked for a comment, Vance would only say, “Hold the anchovies.”
In Vance’s blurb, which is included on the website of alt-wing publisher A-Hole Press, the Ohio Senator warns of “communists” in everyday settings, like the workplace and college campuses, and praises Posobiec for his insight. Vance said that Posobiec “argues convincingly for search and seizures without warrants, show trials and summary executions.”
JD Vance has come under fire from hundreds of critics on the left, and the three remaining critics on the right, who urge Vance to reconsider what they consider his weird position on aid to Ukraine. “Dude,” said the Republican nominee for vice president, speaking at an anti-democracy rally in Georgia, “I won’t even take calls from Ukraine, The head of the Air Force was bitching about F16s and I told him to shove it!”
Vance has also come out in praise of Vladimir Putin, echoing Trump’s plaudits for the Russian President’s success at extracting convicted thieves, spies and assassins from the West. “Vlad is doing a good job on the children’s hospitals in Kiev, too,” he said. “These territorial disputes are always difficult,” he said, and went on to declare apparent satisfaction that, with the high incidence of forcible rape committed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, “in no time at all there won’t be any clueless cat ladies left in that part of the world!”
As a newly elected Senator in 2022, Vance sought out the “White Circle,” a group of caucasian evangelical conservative advisors who counsel most newly elected Republicans. They tendered Vance valuable information on the issues of the day, including Jeffrey Epstein’s ultimate demise, the war record of Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz, and “the real size of Donald Trump’s hands.”
Vance recently boasted that he is “plugged into a lot of weird, rightwing subcultures.” This and the fact that Vance has been called “profoundly weird” by leading Democratic political figures, accounts for author Posobiec’s selection of the Ohio Senator to endorse his book. “My book,” admitted Posobiec, “actually is pretty weird.”
Vance has ardently defended himself against accusations of being weird. “Believing crazy things,” he said in a campaign address to the Pro Lynching Party of Aleppo, Mississippi, “is not the mark of whether somebody should be rejected.” When asked what the standards should be, Vance immediately replied that ethnicity, gender identity, political ideology and race came to mind.
