Despite lobbing the same questions at Tim Walz, J.D. Vance lost it when pressed about his own military service.
Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance seems perfectly happy to dish out criticism of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over his military record, but he just can’t take it.
Vance blew up at CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Thursday, after she called Vance an “imperfect messenger” to criticize Walz over his military service.
“At what point did military service become a liability?” Keilar asked rhetorically on CNN’s Inside Politics. “I also think that J.D. Vance as a messenger on this may be an imperfect messenger.”
Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the public affairs section in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, and according to his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, the Republican nominee was “lucky to escape any real fighting.” Still, that hasn’t stopped Vance from accusing Walz, who served with the Army National Guard for 24 years, of exiting the service before his unit was deployed to Iraq.
i can see how it can be frustrating to see every q&a session has a military-related question couched in.
but seriously, does he not melt down to anything? even the softest of balls he gets asked pisses him off for some reason.
Reporter: "what makes you laugh?"
Vance: "well i laugh at bogus questions like this from lamestream media!"
Reporter: "why would people want to have a beer with you"
Vance: "because i like beer... maybe a little too much. I'M SURE THE MEDIA'S GONNA JUMP ON MY THROAT FOR THIS TOO"
like Jesus Christ dude calm the fuck down they're trying to help you and you can't stop being a weirdo for a goddamn second.
Hehe, couched in.
