Tucker Carlson: ‘Every Bad Person I’ve Ever Met in a Lifetime in Washington Was Aligned Against J.D. Vance’
American Greatness ^ | 16 Jul, 2024 | AG staff

Tucker Carlson, speaking yesterday at the Heritage Foundation’s “Policy Fest” at the Republican National Committee in Milwaukee, made the case for U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), who was announced yesterday as former President Donald Trump’s running mate:

So now J. D. Vance is the VP pick, and I think every person who pays close attention has got to be thrilled by that.

And if you don’t know much about J. D. Vance, I’m not even going to make a case for J. D. Vance. I’m going to tell you what I just saw, which is that every bad person I’ve ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against J.D. Vance.

And I do think the negative case is often more powerful, because I know of myself, I do not think I’m a particularly good person. I have strong reasons for feeling that way. I don’t always think that my side is right. I know for a fact I have been wrong many, many times. And I hope to correct and be honest about my error.

So it’s not like I think that, you know, always, you know, God’s always on my side. Sometimes I’m not on God’s side. But I definitely know who’s representing the other side. It’s a lot easier to tell who the people who are only in it because they like, I don’t know, killing other people in pointless wars.

Like, I know who those people are, and their odor is so powerful that I can smell one when he walks in the room. And every single one of those people in a line that would extend from Milwaukee to Chicago was lined up over the last week to knife J. D. Vance. Not on personal grounds, I mean, he’s a perfectly nice guy, he’s like one of the only members of the Senate with a happy marriage. True.

But because they thought he would be harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people. That’s it. That he would be an impediment to their exercising power. And boy, they went after him in a way I’ve just kind of never seen. Which I think happens every day in Washington. I just don’t have advantage on it because I’m far, far away and grateful to be.

If Vance upsets Romney and Ryan than he seems like a good pick.

LOL.

Romney hating on Vance removed any doubt I had about Vance. I would have been worried if he said nice things.

Our government is filled with evil people. If JD Vance makes them unhappy, that fine with me.

Sigh. I looked at the things Vance has said in the past as mostly politics. It reminds me of a little ditty I read years ago, and have always remembered:

The election is over
The results are known
The will of the people
Is clearly shown
Let's all get together
And let bitterness pass
I'll kiss your Elephant
And you kiss my...

I think I saw this some fifty years ago, but interesting that given what we see today with all the "tone down the rhetoric" cries from the Left, that this appropriate little poem seems to fit them like a glove.

Funny how I can't find that little poem on the Internet, though. I wanted to find out who wrote it...

You know they are talking with every hillbilly in Kentucky and surrounds that ever had encounters with him to try to dig up some dirt. And if they can’t find any, they will make it up. Like the turtle that he said he saved, that in reality he went to his drugged out mom’s kitchen and made turtle soup. Just like he would do to minorities, etc., etc.

Well, at least he may have that ringing endorsement going for him.
