Bear in mind when Vice President J.D. Vance was first introduced as President Donald Trump’s operating mate and MAGA bigots instantly blew up over Vance having an Indian spouse with whom he had three Indian kids whom the couple gave historically Indian names? Bear in mind how he responded to the racist backlash with a weak, discompassionate and delicate rebuke of these racists that nearly appeared like an apology for his spouse being non-white?
Effectively, now Vance has one-upped himself by outright defending a self-proclaimed racist who made racist remarks about how “Indian hate” ought to be normalized.
Earlier than we get into what Vance stated, let’s speak in regards to the bigot who thinks America ought to “normalize” hate towards the VP’s speedy members of the family.
Meet Marko Elez.
After his racist remarks had been just lately uncovered, Elez was fired from Trump’s Division of Authorities Effectivity, which is headed by pseudo-tech genius and Trump puppet grasp Elon Musk, a racist who requested his fellow racists if the racist who was previously employed by the presidential racist ought to be rehired by the division. Predictably, Musk’s followers overwhelmingly stated sure, the racist ought to be introduced again to his authorities function.
Discover how Musk isn’t even keen to utter the phrase “racist,” so he selected a softer, extra white people-friendly time period like “inappropriate” to explain Elez posting that folks ought to “normalize Indian hate” and boasting that “only for the document, I used to be racist earlier than it was cool.”
Anyway, J.D. Vance agrees with the racism apologists on-line, and he joined Musk in avoiding even calling it racism in any respect. Not solely that, however Vance additionally steered that journalists calling out racism was the bigger offense, not the racism itself.
From Uncooked Story:
Writing on X, Vance argued that “I clearly disagree with a few of Elez’s posts, however I don’t suppose silly social media exercise ought to smash a child’s life.”
Vance added that “we shouldn’t reward journalists who attempt to destroy individuals… so I say carry him again. If he’s a foul dude or a horrible member of the staff, fireplace him for that.”
“The VP of the US says it’s worse to be a journalist shining a light-weight on racist habits than it’s to say racist issues,” wrote journalist Ryan Satin. “Insane. This man has an Indian spouse and youngsters, and doesn’t even have the balls to face up towards racism in direction of them. What a foul husband and pa.”
“Elez wished to normalize Indian hate, you’re standing up for him, and your spouse is Indian,” commented one other of Vance’s followers. “Usha deserves approach higher bro.”
“Defending the child who referred to as for normalizing ‘Indian hate’ how does this dude go house and look his spouse and children within the face,” wonderedKevin Saucedo-Broach.
Different followers took challenge with Vance describing the 25-year-old Enez as a “child,” notably when the Trump administration gave him entry to among the most delicate knowledge collected by the US federal authorities.
“So he’s a racist child with no impulse management, however he ought to have entry to the system that doles out trillions of {dollars} of the federal price range and see all of our private info,” wrote journalist Emily Singer.
After all, nobody ought to be shocked that Vance continues to be a coward who doesn’t have a shred of integrity. Clearly, the person who unfold xenophobic hate speech about Haitian immigrants consuming pets in Springfield, Ohio — after which unfold extra lies about Haitians inflicting a spike in HIV instances in Ohio whereas doubling down on the pet-eating lie — isn’t an individual who’s going to push again on this type of bigotry, even when his personal spouse and youngsters are implicated.
In spite of everything, J.D. Vance used to hate Republican racism nearly as a lot as he used to hate Trump — and now it appears he loves or a minimum of willfully tolerates them each.
Unhappy!
