The evening stands to be a high-stakes distillation of the #Hateful Republican #Culturewars largely defining this #national #Political #contest, with nasty #digs referencing “#childlesscatladies,” #tampons in boys’ #bathrooms, and pet-hunting #Haitians flying across the stage from the start.
— I hope they take time to ask Vance about his penchant for wearing #eyeliner.

The city of Springfield in Clark County, Ohio, has had an uneasy relationship with resident Haitians whipped up into threats and hate crimes by the baseless rhetoric of JD Vance and Donald Trump.

#ChastenButtigieg #destroys #ShadyVance’s #claim that #Trump is “a #personofcharacter”
Buttigieg responded by #reposting one of Trump's most #shocking #comments of all time.
#ShadyVance #criticized an #infrastructure #law as a #candidate then #embraced it as a #senator
He sought more than $200 million in #federal #money made available through the #law for #projects across his #state.
JD Vance once criticized a bipartisan 2021 law that invested billions in America’s crumbling infrastructure. He called it a “huge mistake” that spent taxpayer dollars on “really crazy stuff.” But the first-term Ohio senator and Republican vice-presidential nominee has still sought more than $200 million in funding through the law. That's according to records reviewed by The Associated Press. Vance is hardly alone among Republicans who condemned Democratic-led spending enacted only to benefit from money for popular projects. But the harsh terms he used to attack a bipartisan achievement during the Biden administration stand out as Vance has become a national figure whose words carry more weight.
