Vance Dodges Question About Trump-Backed Mark Robinson, Throws His Own Kid Under The Bus Instead

This is typical Vance.

It looks like JD Vance is a huge liar. We found out about his cowardice yesterday when the Harris-Walz campaign showed him ignoring a rather pointed question and ducking into a conveniently nearby room.

The GOP senator from Ohio ducked into the room Thursday after a journalist asked him for comment about North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, a far-right extremist who’s up to his neck in trouble after CNN and Politico reported some really ugly (alleged) facts about him,” according to The New Civil Rights Movement.

The Harris-Walz campaign was quick to notice and posted the video, quoting the reporter and adding, “Vance: ‘rushes into other room.'”

Well, that got his dander up and he responded and then threw one of his own kids under the bus. He must have learned this from Donald Trump, who’s thrown his daughter Ivanka Trump under the bus on occasion. So Vance responded with a side order of snark.

“Rushes into other room” I was *walking* to the doctor (because one of my kids gave me the plague) My comment on Mark Robinson is that Kamala Harris cast the deciding vote on the Inflation Explosion Act and because of that a lot of Americans can’t afford groceries,” he posted.

Robinson, who’s been endorsed by Trump is a Christian nationalist gubernatorial nominee who has allegedly expressed a fondness for transgender p*rn and committed adultery with his wife’s sister which he described in much detail on an adult entertainment site. He’s also called himself a “Black Nazi,” and even purportedly said he wants to own slaves. Oh, and he’s also allegedly had an account on a dating site for people wanting to cheat on their spouses.

No wonder Trump supports him.

Vance’s clueless remarks bugged X (formerly Twitter) users, who were quick to respond. Journalist Stephen Robinson fired back:

“That is not in fact a comment on Mark Robinson. Also, stop blaming your kids for ever [sic] inconvenience in your life.”

As if that isn’t bad enough, he also recently bragged that he’d told his 7-year-old son to “shut the hell up” during his call accepting the vice presidential nomination from Donald Trump.

I feel sorry for his kids. What kind of a father does these things to his kids? I mean other than Donald Trump.

“Between Vance telling his young son to ‘shut the hell up’ to throwing one of his kids under the bus for ‘giving [him] the plague,’ it seems pretty obvious that childless cat ladies are not the ones with issues around family dynamics,” added journalist Julie Roginsky.

Roginsky is right too, when she notes that Vance didn’t answer the question. Vance was in deflect mode here.

And of course, because he mentioned “the plague,” some are speculating that he has Covid. This includes @BenjaminPDixon, who posted:

“COVID. You caught covid because we’re sending our kids back to school in a system where you all maximized the spread of Covid, JD Vance.”

Well, that is what he did, after all. We’re now permanently stuck with COVID-19 because of jerks like Vance and Trump because they sat on their hands as the epidemic spread.

And Roger Sollenberger, The Daily Beast’s senior political reporter observed “Vance’s comment on a GOP gubernatorial candidate in a critical swing state identifying himself as a ‘black NAZI’ on a p*rn site and saying he wants slavery to come back—a guy Donald Trump repeatedly & recently praised—is to openly dismiss it as somehow unworthy of discussion.”

And then there’s this smackdown from @JaredRyanSears:

Who needs the circus when the clowns are already here? Seriously. How anyone can support Robinson, Vance, or Trump and still keep a straight face is beyond me. Gawd, some Republicans become more disgusting by the day.
