"There’s not too much else to say about it at this point. Regardless of political beliefs, one thing I do know is that social media and online bullying needs to stop”
She was depressed and suicidal over the viral video.
She's also maga.
I'm still waiting for this guy to do something intentionally funny. It's like he saw the couch meme snowball and decided he wants to match that energy, without understanding why it went viral
It's pretty typical for Vance. Yank the angriest incel imaginable out of their basement, give them a suit and a fresh haircut, shove them in front of a microphone and you get JD Vance. No exaggeration whatsoever
Regardless of political beliefs, one thing I do know is that social media and online bullying needs to stop
Sounds to me like she still is, when she can't even find the words to properly condemn the side that does the majority of this type of bullying. I know she's not the brightest bulb in the room, but even she should at some point notice how she's just being used and that no one on her side is actually respecting her - or rather purposefully disrespects her.
Not that she's the only woman, or black person, or gay person, or trans person, etc. etc. I just don't understand those people. It's like a Stockholm syndrome kinda thing.
Also, I am never going to pass up a chance to remind everyone that he’s going to put some of his “love” into your loveseat. Remember to use cold water - the stain comes out easier that way.
CNN’s John Berman followed up, asking, “I just want to be clear, though. You said you didn’t know. Would you like to apologize to Caitlin Upton for posting that up there last night, given what you’ve now learned?”
“John, I’m not going to apologize for posting a joke, but I wish the best for Caitlin,” he concluded.
Disgusting as he is, I will concede it’s probably politically smart to downplay his cruelty rather than apologize and admit that it’s cruel. What a prick.
Just more right wing style DARVO - yeah, SHE is the basically the butt of a decades-long joke, but "it's just a joke, you GUYZZZZ, c'mon!"
This is the same way the right wing puts forward things pushing further and further rightward - if there is any meaningful pushback, it's just a joke, nudge nudge wink wink, if there isn't any pushback, they take a few more steps. These people are simply not to be believed when they talk about humor - they are terrible at it.
Also - at the time this happened, I do admit it made me crack a smile, however, I don't really get why they expect these beauty queens to also be policy wonks? She was (is?) super cute [1] and it's essentially about that and T&A for these things. Why put the veneer on it? I just never understand that.
[1] Although it's disappointing that she's maga, it's also not all that surprising, though.
It still blows my mind and saddens me that there are people that would vote for him. He's not going to do a single thing to help them, he's literally everything they complain about and say that the democrats are. I asked my coworker to tell me one thing he's done to help him and one thing he said that wasn't a lie. I was told his taxes were lowered. I said really? You're taxes on your 60k position were lower huh? He fucking raised your taxes man... The response, no Biden did.
I blame the media. Fox "news" should be labeled a terrorist organization.
