Democrat Chair Calls J.D. Vance A 'Weirdo Sociopath' Over Anecdote

Posted • August 4, 2024: We'd thought the Democrats had given up on calling Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance "weird," but no.

Maybe he needs to shut the hell up!” -- Give it up. Shut the hell up, Jaime. Virtue signal received, processed, and disregarded. (…)
