Vance refused to immediately speak on the topic, sidestepping instead to briefly elaborate on his conspiracy that Haitian migrants are eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio.

“Do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don’t,” Vance continued. “I also don’t think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No. Kamala Harris is running for president, and whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.”

"He doesn't mean us when he says Jews, he means those dirty Eastern European Jews."

Of the leopard-eating-face variety.

So would it be comparable to say Samuel L Jackson's character in Django Unchained where he was of the persecuted race, but he participated in the problem since it benefited him?

Yep. They're one of the "good ones" in their minds.

She’s just as trash as JD.
