JD Vance doesn’t believe that Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico will stop people from voting for the Republican presidential ticket.
«I’ve heard about the joke, I haven’t actually seen the joke that you mentioned, but I think that it’s telling that Kamala Harris’ closing message is essentially that all of Donald Trump’s voters are Nazis, and you should get really pissed off about a comedian telling a joke», Vance said at a rally in Wausau, Wis.
«Maybe it’s a stupid, racist joke as you said, maybe it’s not. I haven’t seen it. I’m not going to comment on the specifics of the joke», he added. «But I think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the United States of America. I’m just — I’m so over it.»
«You know what I do when I think a joke is dumb or not funny? I don’t laugh», he added. He might also have said he doesn’t talk about it endlessly as if it’s newsworthy.
“We are not going to restore the greatness of American civilization if we get offended at every little thing, let’s have a sense of humor,” Vance said before ending the rally.
JD misses the point. Only rabid Democratic partisans are actually «offended» by the joke.
