"They censor us, but it doesn't change the truth," he said before telling a whopper of a lie about his mama in a new ad. "Joe Biden's open border is killing Ohioans, with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country.

"This issue is personal," he added. "I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan. I'm J.D. Vance, and I approve this message because whatever they call us, we will put America first."

The only problem here is that he lied. As a nurse, JD Vance's mother stole prescribed medications from her patients, and that was not because of undocumented immigrants. Vance got the community note routine on Xitter.

I'm starting to think this JD Vance fellow might just be a liar. And a fiend.

Grift calls to grift.

Thats OK, Trump will tell enough truth for the both of them \s

At this point can’t we just re use the same line about republicans that’s used about drug addicts?

How can you tell they are lying?

Their lips are moving.

Oof those are some fashy dog whistles. Equating Democrat voters with outsiders and migrants, implying to their base that true Americans are white conservatives. Lying is only one small provable part but not even the worst of it.

Ironic considering his wife is an Indian immigrant

Grifters gonna grift! You'll find a lot of hypocrisy if you look for anything more than a glance.

Dude, the '96 Immigration Act went into effect right around the same time his mama was arrested for stealing drugs from her work. We've tried this shit already and it doesn't work.

But sure, focus on "hurting the right people" instead of actually supporting orphaned kids or those suffering from addiction. I know he's dog whisting, but come the fuck on. We desperately need to fund public education to counter the indoctrinated fear held by people that still eat this shit up.

They don't exist, JD, and if they did they're sure as fuck aren't censoring you considering I can read this bullshit.

I appreciate the correct pronoun of Xitter.

Pronounced SH- IT-TER.
