“I thought I could trust J.D., but this changes everything,” said Gertrude Witherscotch, an 87-year-old voter.
When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his running mate for Vice President, most Americans looked at his military experience as one of the core attributes that contributed to his leadership ability: Vance served as a U.S. Marine Corps combat correspondent and is a veteran of the Iraq War. However, recent survey data showed that the majority of Americans were unaware that Vance was a POG.
“I thought I could trust J.D., but this changes everything,” said Gertrude Witherscotch, an 87-year-old voter from Muncie, Indiana. “I didn’t realize he was a rear echelon little bitch that probably can’t even dis-and-ass a 240.”
A recent Gallup poll found that 84% of voters either thought that Vance was a grunt or “at least in combat arms.” The same poll found that 69% of Americans are “highly unlikely” or “unlikely” to ever vote for a POG.
Vance has doubled down on his military experience on the campaign trail, claiming that POGs are “basically the same as infantry” and that “every Marine is a rifleman, even if they only carried a pencil and notepad on patrol.”
“I want to show Americans that even a POG can rise to the highest levels of government,” Vance said. “Our time is now!”
