JD Vance Called Out Over Lie About His Mama's Addiction
JD Vance Called Out Over Lie About His Mama's Addiction
Dude, did you not think anyone would notice?
"They censor us, but it doesn't change the truth," he said before telling a whopper of a lie about his mama in a new ad. "Joe Biden's open border is killing Ohioans, with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country.
"This issue is personal," he added. "I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan. I'm J.D. Vance, and I approve this message because whatever they call us, we will put America first."
The only problem here is that he lied. As a nurse, JD Vance's mother stole prescribed medications from her patients, and that was not because of undocumented immigrants. Vance got the community note routine on Xitter.
I'm starting to think this JD Vance fellow might just be a liar. And a fiend.
No wonder Dotard Don picked him!
Grift calls to grift.
Well that and Peter Thiel made him.
Thats OK, Trump will tell enough truth for the both of them \s
At this point can’t we just re use the same line about republicans that’s used about drug addicts?
How can you tell they are lying?
Their lips are moving.
Oof those are some fashy dog whistles. Equating Democrat voters with outsiders and migrants, implying to their base that true Americans are white conservatives. Lying is only one small provable part but not even the worst of it.
Ironic considering his wife is an Indian immigrant
Grifters gonna grift! You'll find a lot of hypocrisy if you look for anything more than a glance.
Dude, the '96 Immigration Act went into effect right around the same time his mama was arrested for stealing drugs from her work. We've tried this shit already and it doesn't work.
But sure, focus on "hurting the right people" instead of actually supporting orphaned kids or those suffering from addiction. I know he's dog whisting, but come the fuck on. We desperately need to fund public education to counter the indoctrinated fear held by people that still eat this shit up.
They don't exist, JD, and if they did they're sure as fuck aren't censoring you considering I can read this bullshit.
I appreciate the correct pronoun of Xitter.
Pronounced SH- IT-TER.
Lying is NOT against the Bible so WHO CARES?
I don't think that's technically a lie. His mother almost died due to her opiate addiction. Opiates are being smuggled across the border. He could have been a little clearer but he's saying that he wants to stop the smuggling of opiates because he knows how harmful they are from personal experience, not that his mother almost died specifically due to those opiates that are being smuggled across the border.
"I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border“ sure sounds like lying to me. There’s clear omission of key facts leading people to the wrong conclusion.
It would have been clearer to say "I nearly lost my mother to the sort of poison that is now coming across our border," but he's recording an ad and he needs to be concise. I would agree that he was being misleading if he was trying to use his mother's addition as evidence that opiates are being smuggled from Mexico, but he isn't. (It is a widely acknowledged fact that a lot of opiates are smuggled in from Mexico.) Therefore even if some listeners do assume that his mother was addicted specifically to Mexican opiates, that doesn't substantially affect their understanding of what he's saying.
"JD Vance's mother stole prescribed medications from her patients"
Please show me how this is related to illegal drug imports, borders, Biden, etc.
JD Vance's mother was a stealin' junkie, plain and simple.

Opiates are primarily being smuggled by American citizens for the opiate addiction they aquired due to the over-prescription of opiates for care fueled by Perdue Pharma.
He could have been a little clearer but he's saying that he wants to stop the smuggling of opiates because he knows how harmful they are from personal experience, not that his mother almost died specifically due to those opiates that are being smuggled across the border.
Could have been a little clearer? He blantlantly tried misleading the listener. That's called a lie. He lied.
The opiate situation is 100% because big pharma got people hooked.
That's a lot of gymnastics to give Nazis the benefit of the doubt. They know exactly what they are doing.
Op does too, that's why they're trying to help them lie
Huh, maybe she shouldn't have been working for a hospital which, according to you, dispensed to their patients opiates that were smuggled across the border.
If only there were a politician trying to build a medical system that supported patients and secured jobs for medical workers so that they wouldn't feel the need to use illegal narcotics! And if only that politician were part of a party that tried to get help for people with drug addictions instead of labeling them a criminal, thus causing societal pressures that sent people spiraling into dark lonely corners that harm entire families.
Alas, such things sound far too productive and positive, so we should instead promote victim-blaming, vote for a wannabe-dictator, and perpetuate lies that deflect problems with local solutions onto "others" for state-funded oppression programs.
The US invented pill mills. Mostly for this specific category of drug.
I mean I get what you’re saying but at the same time I’m not going to give him the benefit of the doubt in any context at this point.
