Sick burn

It's like when Sideshow Bob was running for Mayor and used ads denouncing Mayor Quimby for letting crooks like Sideshow Bob out of jail.

Vance isn’t nearly as intelligent as Bob. But I did laugh at the comparison.
- Vance is a Yale grad and a best selling author. It's a good example of imposter syndrome; he's better than Trump in any possible way, but lacks the intestinal fortitude to be anything but a lickspittle.

"That's different! They're white!" -his inner monologue

He immediately whataboutism'd BLM protests, so... yeah it was outer monologue too.

The problem is that hypocrisy doesn't burn them. Logic doesn't matter.

You'll find conservative women against abortion who had an abortion, because "for them it was different".

You'll find them yapping about taxes and "big crime families" but when trump does it "he's just smart and using the system like everyone else".

You'll find them fed up with "giving away free stuff", when they all do sovcit shit and dodge taxes because "fuck biden or wtv".

They have upper class money, but for them it's different, "they aren't rich" and "daddy technically didn't even help".

Theyre all losers who think all their problems are caused by other people.

so you agree that...
Giant flashing "it's a trap" sign.
Ficking idiot walks straight into it.
Yeah but they get away with it because their audience only cares/is fed the stuff they agree with
Trump said the government should be allowed to take people's guns without due process (just breaking two constitutional amendments, NBD) and Republicans just had to wait a couple days and their voters forgot about it
It's a trap either way. Like asking Matt Gaetz if he agrees children should not be trafficked and raped by middle-aged adults. Any direct answer to that would make him look like a pedophile.
- That's why you aren't a politician (along with probably many other reasons). The correct response is something like: "there are certain actions that these protesters shouldn't be taking." You just totally avoid the question and pretend like you answered it.
Logic traps only work on hypocrites though.

Pleasantly surprising to actually press even that hard during an interview. Interviews should be forcing candidates to explain themselves.

Can we get the actual clip?

The little couch fucking shit weasel. He had an answer and it wasn’t half bad. Then he redirected to his false equivalency bullshit.

That's the worst part, I agree with his point that we shouldn't have blanket prosecutions...just like we shouldn't have blanket pardons.
I think a good followup would have been "Do you believe it is also possible there are BLM protestors who likewise had the book thrown at them?" Bring it back to the question of why they think their "protest" is more acceptable than the BLM protests.
But it's weird, that didn't feel like a modern Republican interview exchange to me. Yeah he's doing the soundbites but he's actually responding with...logic rather than feelings? Or at least as close to logic as a Republican candidate can get these days.
- The thing is, the MSM made it clear they are on the side of prosecuting BLM protestors.

The interview equivalent of stepping on a rake.

All forms of gender-affirming care are valid and should be respected
- I respect Robert Smith wearing eyeliner. This bigoted fucker can eat shit, I'll criticize his eyeliner because it's a sign of his deep hypocrisy.
- I'm all for gay people and would never bring extra attention to them, but if I see a closeted homosexual republican doing gay shit imma give em hell cause of the double standards.

Is that crickets I hear? Heh wimp womb Vancey Pants.

This is fucking beautiful.

Bruhhhhhhh
