The Republican party has taken a short break from blaming Democrats who compared Trump to Hitler for his second alleged assassination attempt, by celebrating their VP candidate who compared Trump to Hitler.
JD Vance was appointed as Trump’s running mate back in July, proving that although likening Trump to a fascist dictator will see you blamed for deranged lunatics aiming guns in Trump’s general direction, it won’t preclude you from being a heart attack away from the Oval Office.
Vance, at 39, is far younger than Donald Trump but spent a good deal of his 30s being highly critical of Trump, his policies, and his general approach to politics before realising that sucking up to him can get you a much better job.
His supporters have been quick to reject claims of ‘hypocrisy’ levelled at them for criticising Democrats for doing precisely what JD Vance himself did a few years ago.
GOP spokesperson Chuck Williams told us, “Look, I know how it looks, but take a closer look and it’s completely different. When the Democrats likened Trump to a fascist dictator, they were doing so in the hope that someone would pick up a rifle and shoot him – and they are getting their wish! They are basically guilty of attempted murder. Which is typical of the criminal left.
“But when JD compared Trump to a fascist dictator, he was merely using his god-given First Amendment right to voice an opinion that he quickly changed as soon as we had a quiet word in his ear.
“The reality is, if we limit our VP options only to those people who have not, at any time, compared Trump to a fascist dictator, then our options would be very limited indeed.
“So checkmate, liberals.”
