JD Vance Bald Baby Face Meme Shown in Irish Parliament
Newsweek ^ | Jun 26, 2025 | James Bickerton

Posted on 06/30/2025 1:58:27 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Irish lawmaker Ivana Bacik held up a meme depicting Vice President JD Vance, in her country's parliament on Tuesday following reports a 21-year-old Norwegian tourist was refused access to the U.S. because he had the image on his phone.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has denied this allegation, saying the tourist, Mads Mikkelsen, was refused entry "for his admitted drug use."

Newsweek contacted Vance for comment on Thursday via email outside of regular office hours.

So, this is supposed to be clever? Ireland has lots of problems; might want to work on them.

Why did Newsweak contact Vance for comment? Just to pester him? What could he possibly have to do with a pic on a Norwegian kid’s phone?

Was the admission of drug use on his phone & social media? I’ve been to Europe several times, & also South America & I don’t recall having to tell anyone anything about my personal habits.

“””Was the admission of drug use on his phone & social media? “”””

Maybe he had pictures of drug use on his phone. Dopers aren’t all that bright.

I traveled to Europe last September, with my phone. No one examined it. Still makes me wonder how they knew.

The real Mads Mikkelsen is a 59-year-old actor from Denmark.

.....”Palestinians need to be relocated to Ireland.”

Great idea, even though my Irish great grandparents will spin in their graves. They probably are already.

The Irish do trials in absentia of people around the world and other stupid shyt. Mega virtue signalers. No nation is required to accept druggie tourists no matter what these micks might think. Perhaps State can deny Bono entry too. That would be awesome. For fraud. Since his “charity” distributes less than 1% of its donations. Another virtue signalling jerk.

So a drug user got denied entry and he lies about a meme and everyone goes with it. RIGHT!

Yeah, just go with it like it is a legit story. MSNBC-level “journalism” here from Newsweak. Even contacted Vance’s office for comment?

Bacik's paternal grandfather, Charles Bacik, was a Czech factory owner who moved to Ireland in 1946.

If he were anti Nazi, why would he relocate to a country that refused to fight the Nazis ?

Ireland is not a ally and not a friendly country.
