The REAL reason Democrats think JD Vance is ‘weird’



While phrases like “Keep Austin weird” indicate a certain level of “cool” to the left, Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, has been ascribed a similar phrase for a totally different reason.

And Glenn Beck knows why.

“JD Vance is from a red state: weirdness number one. JD Vance grew up in white poverty: weirdness number two,” Glenn explains. “He didn’t have white privilege: weirdness number three. And he never gave up or listened to the naysayers: weirdness number four.”

While those on the left often look for handouts over hard work, Vance is the opposite.

“Nobody’s holding you back except you and your choices. That’s one of the biggest things that’s weird about JD Vance because either they totally believe it or they know they’re running an evil scam on people all over the world,” Glenn says.

The reason why this is such an important piece of the “JD Vance is weird” momentum, is because a left-wing government wants you to rely on it. It doesn’t want you to believe the future is in your hands.

“Who says that except an abusive partner?” Glenn asks.

And Vance doesn’t just not rely on the government for handouts, but he’s created his own world. He’s an entrepreneur — and nothing’s weirder to the left than people with the intellectual and emotional fortitude to build their own reality.

“Those are the people with real drive, and they’re different than people that just want a 9 to 5 job, and there’s nothing wrong with either of them,” Glenn says, though he notes that those who don’t believe they have it in them to be like Vance want to take from his wallet.

“Those are the people that the left relates to and counts on because they can use greed and envy to have you look at an entrepreneur, somebody with drive. ‘Look man, I don’t have the drive to do what Elon Musk does, I don’t have the brains to do it either,’” Glenn says. “‘I think I should take some money from Elon Musk.’”

“They think JD Vance is weird because they can’t relate to him on anything. His white poverty instead of his white privilege, his red state over their blue state, his getting back up again over and over again and rejecting the idea ‘stay down, you need the government, reach out for a handout,’” Glenn continues, adding, “They can’t understand that.”

Make no mistake — the 'JD Vance is weird' movement was very carefully calculated



As you may well know, Kamala Harris’ campaign and its media allies have taken to calling JD Vance “weird.”

“Yes, the same people who want to trans your kid, have abortion on demand, and open the borders say that a U.S. military veteran, who is a happily married father from the heartland, is weird,” says Liz Wheeler, pointing to the following Tweets from Kyle Mann and Greg Price that paint the perfect picture of how absurd such a statement is.

While the tactic of calling someone who is as normal as the rising sun weird seems like a strategy doomed to fail, apparently “it’s working,” says Liz.

Part of the movement’s success is attributed to the fact that this is “coordinated language from the losers in the mainstream media,” she explains, playing a montage of several examples of Vance and the Trump/Vance campaign being called “weird.”

“They were clearly given talking points,” she says. “The question is: Where did they get them from?”

“Undoubtedly they got the word ‘weird’ from focus groups who most likely found that the word weird resonated with liberal women voters” and “probably because focus groups found that when Kamala Harris runs on her own record, people ardently dislike her and reject her policies” says Liz.

“This strategy is actually very elementary. It's meant to appeal to the shallowest part of human nature, but here's the reason why they're utilizing this strategy. ... They are trying to assassinate JD Vance's character to distract from the fact that the Democrats are perverted commies who hate us. And JD Vance has committed the cardinal sin against the commies of being a Conservative Christian white man happily married with kids who goes to church and loves America. The Democrats hate that,” she explains.

However elementary the tactic may be, it’s effective because “presidential campaigns are not policy debates” but rather culture wars.

“Democrats understand how to use the culture or even human nature to win because they control the culture and they know how to harness it,” says Liz, adding that this “killer instinct” is the one thing Democrats have that Republicans don’t.

Unfortunately, this repeated defaming of JD Vance is adding up — the Ohio senator’s “popularity rating just in the last week has dropped nine points.”

“There's even a report that President Trump is regretting the fact that he picked JD Vance to be his vice presidential running mate,” says Liz, adding that she hopes this is nothing more than a nasty rumor.

Regardless of the veracity of the hearsay, “The 'JD Vance is weird' language ... is intended to also target how Trump feels about JD Vance in order to breed chaos in the Trump campaign in these final months before the election,” says Liz.

“Again — the left has this killer instinct. They have studied their enemy; they know their enemy.”

“If there’s one thing we should learn from the ‘JD Vance's weird’ narrative it’s that the Democrats are like sharks. They get just a whiff of blood and BAM — they'll gut you,” she says.

But according to Liz, there is an antidote. To hear it, watch the episode above.

'This is GOLD': NYT asks Candace Owens where she gets her ideas about Ukraine — and immediately regrets it



Daily Wire host Candace Owens tweeted Monday that the New York Times sent her a message asking where she got her ideas that "Ukraine was a corrupt country," adding that such ideas are similar to those "seen from Russian state media." Owen's response was gloriously embarrassing — for the New York Times.

Received an email from The NYTimes asking for comment regarding me \u201cadvancing ideas that Ukraine is a corrupt country\u201d\u2014similar to Russian state TV. \n\nI replied informing them that I actually got my ideas from the New York Times, and provided them links to their past articles. pic.twitter.com/Zy6a7Btih4

Twitter fans and critics were quick to respond:

This\u2026 Ukraine and other ex Soviet countries, including Russia, have some of the worst rankings on that index. It\u2019s well deserved. I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s suddenly controversial to state that corruption is a problem in Ukraine. It doesn\u2019t mean they deserve to be invaded.

Candace has been under fire recently for her outspoken criticism of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and for calling out corruption in Ukraine.
