JD Vance's 'Very Awkward' Stop at Georgia Donut Shop Goes Viral
Newsweek ^ | 8/23/24 | Andrew Stanton

Posted on 08/24/2024 12:47:15 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Senator JD Vance faced ridicule over a viral video showing him stopping inside a Georgia donut shop on Thursday.

On Thursday, Vance visited Holt's Sweet Shop in Valdosta, Georgia, a crucial battleground state Republicans are hoping will flip back to Trump after it narrowly voted for President Joe Biden in 2020. He faced a wave of ridicule over the video, with critics describing the stop as "awkward." The campaign stop comes as Vance's popularity among voters remains a sticking point for the Trump campaign.

I hate social media for this reason. Yes I’m a hypocrite because I’m on Facebook, but I think you can be on something and still believe it’s not best for a society.

“ The Fake News apparatus hates J.D. Vance.”

Of course they do. His selection has obliterated Nikki Haley’s potential to be a future successful candidate for President. She’s been reduced to holding a variety of well paid sinecures that require her merely to periodically spout the neocon narratives.

Akward my ass. JD is trying to make polite conversation and the employees keep shutting him down with one word answers. They were just this side of rude.

They want to “sprinkle” “weirdness” into every aspect of the Trump-Vance campaign.

They’ll over do it as always and “weirdness” will become a meme in and of itself.

He is just making small talk with the workers. I didn’t see anything or hear anything unusual.

If PMSNBC got all excited over this, then really have nothing on Vance.

Jeeze.

i know right, he was just getting some donuts. Can’t a guy get a couple dozen donuts without the media getting all up in his grill about it?

No one is perfect. 🤣

Besides your comment wasn't really about social media, it was that stated & what was presented did not jibe, which I agreed with your assessment. Now perhaps the statements made by the poster were derived from some additional footage not presented, but what was presented didn't exactly confirm the statement made regarding the rudeness of the manager to Vance.

Thus, I do not see hypocrisy on your part at all. You're good to go. 🙂👍

Did he have all the patrons thrown out so his crew could make a campaign ad?

Story is nonsense

What’s “very awkward” about it? Vance was just making small talk while he waited for the employees to box his order. Newsflash to democrats/leftists: This goes on all over America every day...Americans talking to one another.

Rule #1 of the in the tank leftist media is: Just make up a story.

Just because he doesn’t feel the same love for a donut shop as Democrat hero Chris Christy is no reason to hassle the guy.

JD Vance: Senator, Marine, Patriot, VP Candidate = WEIRD
Sam Briton: Cross dressing, thief, high official in the Energy Dept. = NOT WEIRD?
Our surgeon general: Dude identifies as a woman and dresses as such. NOT WEIRD?
President Biden: Mentally compromised and has his finger on the nuclear button. NOT WEIRD? Actually insanely dangerous.

I could go on and on about the NOT WEIRD people in this administration.

How can a stop for donuts be “awkward”? The Rats are grasping at straws on this one.

The news media and the other leftists hate JD Vance because with his background and rags to riches life story, he’s supposed to be a democrat dammit.
