Smoke, Mirrors, and the Hug Heard Around the Right
So yeah — J.D. Vance hugged Erika Kirk on stage, and the internet lost its collective mind. A hug. A public hug. Suddenly everyone’s got a hot take — whether it was “too close,” “too emotional,” “too much.” People are freeze-framing screenshots, debating hand placement like it’s the Zapruder film.
