As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country! 🇺🇸

And he still doesn’t bother to shave.

[mewzilla]

Neither did Lincoln. :-)

And he still doesn’t bother to shave.

A large percentage of men don't shave these days.

It's like living in Afghanistan or Amish country. 🤡

[fidelis]

He looks better with the beard.

[NorthMountain]

And he still doesn’t bother to shave.

I don't either. Don't like it? Tough!

[cymbeline]

I read Vance’s book. Quite a grimy past.

Were any of his blood relatives at the inauguration? His sister is a possibility. His book has no pictures.

[NorthMountain]

I observe that your “clown” emoji doesn’t have a beard ...

👹🧔🎅🧙‍♂️

[GenXPolymath]

Why do I have a beard? Because I am neither woman nor child. This is how men real mean with high testosterone should look. Alpha males should not change how we look to make beta males and women feel better. Sack up and deal with it, men have hair it is how God himself created us.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And he still doesn’t bother to shave.

Neither did Abraham Lincoln.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If I could grow a good beard I would, but mine is a scraggly mess, so I don’t.

[Churchillspirit]

God bless Vice President Vance and his lovely family.

[MayflowerMadam]

I WANT TO KNOW WHY USHA’S FAMILY WASN’T THERE!!! Are they never-Trumpers? Are they academia libs from SoCal? Why did nobody mention that?

[CondoleezzaProtege]

YES! JD’s mom was right in front of him and next to Justice Kavanuagh during the oath. His daughter went up to her after Usha let her down. :)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I WANT TO KNOW WHY USHA’S FAMILY WASN’T THERE!!!

That is one of the most important issues we are facing.

[MayflowerMadam]

Very sweet video. I’m surprised he didn’t tear up. Maybe he did.
