Attendees at the Democratic National Convention interviewed by The Daily Wire were left tripping over their words when asked why they think Senator JD Vance (R-OH) is weird.
Almost immediately after former President Donald Trump announced Vance would be his running mate, key Democratic leaders began to push the talking point that Vance is “weird,” including Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
But when asked the simple question of “why is JD Vance weird?” interviewees struggled to find an answer, or else pointed to a vulgar internet lie involving Vance and a couch that has been repeated by Walz.
One older woman said the “Hillbilly Elegy” author is weird because he “doesn’t understand any common people.”
“I don’t know what makes him weird,” another woman honestly said after taking a long pause to contemplate the question.
Another man said he doesn’t like to use the term weird, while a third pointed to his belief that Vance wears eyeliner and is angry.
“He’s like— he’s weird because he is a — he’s fake—I mean he,” one young man covered in pro-Harris buttons told The Daily Wire, stumbling over his words.
“He has to like to defend his wife’s integrity because his party is like full of white supremacists, that’s pretty weird,” the young man added.
“Shouldn’t he be defending his wife? Isn’t that a good thing?” The Daily Wire asked.
“It is a good thing,” the man responded. After a few more questions pushing him to find an answer, the man with the buttons landed on the fact that Vance is weird because the “MAGA Republican” he supports are weird.
One keffiyeh-clad man failed to give a reason why Vance is weird, but said Trump is weird because he dictated “who is black and who is not black,” referring to Trump criticizing Harris for what he believes is only recently leaning into her African American heritage.
When asked his thoughts on President Joe Biden once stating “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” the man said he did not recall it ever happening.
A few interviewees said they believe it is weird that Vance disliked Trump during the 2016 election but now supports him.
“Anyone that can change on a dime like a chameleon like that, that’s f’ing weird,” said a man sporting a shirt covered in pictures of Walz’s face.
Vance responded to the coordinated smear campaign in a Fox News interview earlier this month, calling it “projection” from people who are weird themselves.
“I think that it’s a lot of projection, frankly, Maria, from people who want to give transgender hormones to 9-year-old kids and want biological males to play in women’s sports,” Vance said. “Look, I’m a husband, I’m a father, I’m happily married, and I love my life, and I am doing this because I want to be a good public servant who fixes the problems of the Democrats.”
He added that the “middle school taunts don’t bother” him.
