JD Vance attempted a Hail Mary pass of sorts for the GOP in the form of homophobia on Tuesday when he used a midterm rally to imply that Texas Senate Democratic nominee James Talarico is gay.
āI love you, too, sir,ā Vance began at an event in Tyler, Texas, seemingly in response to a rallygoer, before adding, āIn a totally platonic way, to be clear.ā
āIām the vice president, not James Talarico.ā
Vanceās schoolyard bully-like taunt takes notes from the anti-gay expression āno homoā that was popularized in the ā90s and ā00s and adds to his history of hurling anti-LGBTQ attacks toward Talarico, a majority of which have suggested that heās a āfreakā or a pedophile for supporting transgender children and drag performers (itās worth noting that Vance himself has done drag). Heās even resorted to āTalafreakoā as a way of referring to Talarico.
āSee? Iām relevant! Look how gay this dude is, crazy right? Please for the love of God donāt let me fade into irrelevant obscurity the second the fat dying fuck leaves officeā
He really does come across as the ultimate sniveler. He is just oozing a lack of any moral or psychological center.
