J.D. Vance: ‘Weird’ Moniker Is ‘Fundamental School Bully Stuff’

EXCERPT:

VANCE: "Well, certainly, they have levied that charge against me more than anybody else. But I think that it drives home how they're trying to distract from their own policy failures. I mean, look, this is fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff. They can accuse me of whatever they want to accuse me of. As Harry S. Truman once said, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And I'm doing this because I think that me being vice president will help improve people's lives. So I accept their attacks, but I think that it is a little bit of projection, Dana, if you think about — you know, just take a couple of days ago. Tim Walz gives this big speech. He's been announced as the V.P. nominee. And I remember, when I had just been announced as the V.P. nominee, I gave my big speech and I saw my wife and I gave her a big hug and a kiss, because I love my wife and I think that's what a normal person does. Tim Walz gave his wife a nice firm Midwestern handshake and then tried to sort of awkwardly correct for it. So, I think that what it is, is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren't comfortable in their own skin because they aren't comfortable with their policy positions for the American people, and so they're name-calling, instead of actually telling the American people how they're going to make their lives better. I think that's weird, Dana.”
