J.D. Vance brushed off Laura Loomerās racist comments, despite being married to an Indian American woman.
J.D. Vance would apparently rather protect Donald Trumpās decision to pal around with self-described āproud Islamophobeā and 9/11 conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer than stand up for his own wife.
Trump has been seen withĀ Loomer several times over the last couple of weeks, with the pair getting eyebrow-raisingly close (Trumpās hand has been spotted in the small of Loomerās back) while Melania Trump has largely remained out of the limelight. Loomer attended a 9/11 memorial service with Trump and also accompanied him to the presidential debate.
In an interview Sunday with NBC News, Vance was asked directly about his and his wife Usha Vanceās opinions on some of Loomerās overt racism, including her claim that Vice President Kamala Harrisās ascendency to the Oval Office would make the White House āsmell like curry.ā But Vance wouldnāt take a stand against the alt-right ally.

āDo I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I donāt,ā Vance continued. āI also donāt 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 youāre eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.ā

Wait. Did he just add the fried chicken to the reference? Loomers was just curry, wasnāt it? Wtf JD
Next up heāll add watermelon too.
They love adding racist dogwhistles donāt they?
I think we can stop calling it a dog whistle when they start just saying it.
If thatās an impromptu response, thatās a sort of natural racism that 4chan would be envious of.
Very memorable, wasnāt it?
Now Lemmy World will be talking about him for days!
