Some of the X accounts pledging to oppose Vice President JD Vance and back Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the 2028 Republican primary appear to be run from outside the United States by people who are not American voters, according to a report published Friday.
The finding appeared in a Washington Post report on a wave of online attacks against Vance that his allies describe as a coordinated “op.” Detractors have adopted a “Never Vance” slogan and flooded social media over the past week, the outlet said, with much of the traffic tied to accounts of murky origin.
(snip)
The attacks come as Vance continues to face fallout from his July 15 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he described himself as a “reasonable moderate” and said he was being targeted by a foreign-funded influence campaign. Vance pointed to a Time report on a pro-Israel operation run by a former Trump campaign official and said paid influencers were coming after him “in dishonest ways.”

Wouldn’t put it past Soros Junior and his NGOs to fund anti-Vance initiatives far in advance of 2028. Long thinking on their part.
Correcting myself: The Family Reunion was in Georgia.
“Vance... there’s something about him that just puts me off a bit”
Vance might have gotten a bad case of defeatism. This defeatism has made a lot of people sick. I suspect he’s shaken it off.
Can you explain why you perceive Vance as ‘anti-capitalism’.
Is he the one behind Trump’s surge of acquiring government stakes in companies?
This is a charge I hadn’t seen before, was curious the basis for it.
Most of the attacks I’ve seen on Vance are because he’s insufficiently deferential to Israel and forever wars (maybe because he’s a Marine vet who was deployed, and not he’s not a chicken hawk).
“don’t care for Rubio because I do not trust him on immigration and war issues. He has no popularity with younger voters either.”
This article pretty much proves that the foreign influences prefer Rubio because of his amnesty loving history.
“Rubio is an empty suit....The guy is incapable of doing anything but reading from a teleprompter and delivering scripted narratives.”
That’s just not true. Rubio has been impressive and always has a ready answer. That said , I will never trust him until he addresses his about face on immigration.
“Instead, he has consistently opposed broad or blanket amnesty, famously criticizing comprehensive immigration proposals and executive actions—such”
Totally BS and you know it. He led the gang of 8 to push Amnesty! He’s owned by Cesar Conda.
It wasn’t amnesty.
Please also see my post #31.
What is Vance’s executive experience? I don’t think VP counts. We need an experienced governor.
AppHarvest
From March 2017 to April 2021, Vance was on the board of directors of the startup AppHarvest, which carried out indoor vertical farming in Kentucky. AppHarvest was also one of Narya Capital’s first publicly announced investments; Vance publicly advocated for AppHarvest, touting the company’s commitment to bring good jobs with health care benefits to an economically depressed area of Appalachia. AppHarvest went bankrupt in 2023 while owing over $340 million.[85] Company founder Jonathan Webb and top executives collectively had little experience with horticulture and indoor agriculture, and the company struggled to meet its produce buyers’ standards.[86] Workers complained to authorities about “brutal” working conditions in company greenhouses; after many local workers quit, they were replaced by migrant contract workers, who eventually constituted over half the company’s labor force. Vance never held an operational role at the company, and his vice-presidential campaign said he had been unaware of the complaints about working conditions and that the decision to hire migrants was made after he resigned from the board.
Wiki
“NGOs today”
Perhaps a federal law should limit the provision of funds to NGOs.
1. Federal funds may only be provided to private organizations as follows:
a. to do the type of work thousands of for-profit businesses often pay an outside organization to do, including building construction, maintenance, cleaning, repair...
b. the exceptions listed in section 2
2. Federal funds may be provided to private organizations as follows for the following purposes:
a. weapons procurement for the Department of War
b. security systems for
I. the Department of War,
II. the Department of State,
III. the facilities in which the President habitually works
IV. the vehicles in which the President habitually uses or uses
V. as provided by current law until 2028
c. investigative supplies for federal law enforcement
d. as may be provided for in the first five pages of federal enactments wherein specific dollar expenditure caps are uniformly listed.
3. Effective January 1, 2028, except as provided by sections 1 and 2, federal funds may not be provided to NGOs or any associated persons or entities, used by NGOs or retained by NGOs.
“gang of 8 to push Amnesty”
Rubio is as far as I know a pro-amnesty guy.
I believe Cheap Labor Republicans are the majority of federal officeholders.
The alternative typically is an Expensive Vote Buying Democrat.
The refrain Vance is anti semite is one of the arrows in their quiver
In my view it’s a smear but it is politics admittedly
One can criticize certain aspects of Israeli US relationship and not be an anti semite
Well except to Dyspies
No question to me the establishment prefers Rubio if they can’t have Haley
I think we’re lucky
Either Vance or Rubio 2.0 are great
Both are sharp and quick and I like Vance on culture and Rubio Munich speech Is really really good

Man the irony lol
(Btw the pejorative attached to Neville is a mite overstated in my opinion)
“It wasn’t Amnesty”
Oh stop. Comprehensive immigration reform..same ugly bastard and you know it. You are pathetic .

DNC just moved first primary to SC

the Kamala wing is behind this
I know I know
“Vance apparently has a lot females, even liberals, hypnotized with his blue eyes and looks.”
You forgot to add Trump to that list.
When America is at stake, do progressive lives really matter?
The Left's foot soldiers, composed of criminals and conditioned from birth to immediate, brutal violence are the only people out there killing anyone.
We like to dismiss leftist agitators as effete soyboys and gendergoblins but go look at Antifa in Portland. They're out there in the streets beating the tar out of people and getting away with it as the cops look the other direction (when the cops aren't arresting elements on the Right for fighting back).
This is every communist revolution in history, an elite educated, privileged leadership class and soldiers on the ground made up of psychotic schizos, released convicts, and petty street criminals.
And we have keyboard warriors on our side who have never been in a fist fight.
Antifa enforcers harass people in cars in Portland (X)
The last thing I want right now is a reasonable moderate in the Oval office. 🙄
