This Vance attack is just chef's kiss for the blind defenders of Trump like Marc Thiessen
Just another chapter in the pulp fiction MAGA writes: Trump cannot fail, he can only be failed.
Thiessen: Iran War Didn't Cause High Gas Prices, Vance's Failed Negotiations With Tehran Did
"... I was kind of shocked by that statement that Vice President Vance put out. It was, quite frankly, disloyal to the President of the United States. ..."

One of the NY Times' phony 500 Jewish leaders endorsing Abdul is Jack Mehoff of East Lansing, but the NYT and Abdul continue to pretend this is genuine
This is the sort of antisemitic and un-vetted falsehood one would expect to be so casually promoted in Nazi Germany.
There's also a cigar in Ann Arbor and a pickle in Royal Oak. Ha ha ha.
