Donald Trump’s running mate seemed like a replicant - there was no sign of the smarmy troll who said Kamala Harris can ‘go to hell’
Maureen Dowd: Lies piled on lies, darkness swallowing darkness. JD Vance’s chilling debate performanceThe ad’s subtext is clearly gender, trying to exploit Kamala’s problems winning over black and white working-class men.last month, 55 per cent of respondents said Trump was respected by foreign leaders while 47 per cent said that of Harris.
At the weekend, he was martyr-milking the one moment where he did show courage, the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, by returning to the crime scene and treating it as hallowed ground for his quasi-religious lion imagery. After vowing at the convention to never discuss the event again – “It’s actually too painful to tell” – he wants to wallow in accolades fromHis new ad slams Harris for “anti-Israel statements” that Hamas will use as a green light “to keep murdering Israelis”.
His views against abortion are adamantine and, until recently, he was an IVF opponent. He has a bizarre, degrading view of the role of women in American society. He was wily and deceptive in how he talked about abortion, stressing that women needed “options” and sending his love to an old friend who he said had had an abortion.
It’s remarkable, given Vance’s compassionate tone in his book, and his plea that the people of Appalachia be understood rather than ridiculed, how easily he morphed into someone with no compassion, stereotyping migrants and women.
