JD Vance Makes Light of Actual Foreign Interference in His State - emptywheel

JD Vance called the bomb threats launched from a presumably hostile foreign country that are having serious consequences to Springfield, Ohio disinformation, downplaying an attack from a foreign country in favor of continuing to lie about legal immigrants to Ohio.

Flooding the zone with shit, instead of admitting fault. Creating a new talking point for anyone who listens, in order to distract and divide.

I hate it when their fragile egos deny their wrongdoing.

@emptywheel

this is a master class in why who you vote for IN YOUR OWN STATE matters

he is terrorizing the people he is supposed to be representing

Of course, #JDVance is preemptively violating the oath of office protecting Americans from ALL enemies, domestic and foreign.

#Vance is leveraging an attack on his country from a foreign country to attack legal #Haitian #immigrants in his own state 😡

But why is #Ohio Governor Mike #DeWine giving cover to the foreign country attacking us?

Why bother alerting us at all, but not reveal its name?

Possibly because there's some sensitive information that needs further investigation?

@emptywheel
That trump/vance have active cooperation of a foreign nation is, while not the least bit surprising, a bigger bombshell than if all the threats were from home grown whackos.
Did they coordinate with the foreign country in advance? Did that country come up with the bs claim that started it all? Vance's use of te term "hoax" to dismiss all the fake calls sound a lot like t's repititive "russia hoax" to dismiss the proven R connections. Was it another vance blooper?

The Muscovite Candidates are terrible at obfuscating.

@emptywheel Trump and Vance spread bullshit to prepare the ground for Vladimir Appleseed to sow discontent.
