Yeah, and they picked a newly-converted Trump clone.
Not someone, imo, beneficial to the Trump campaign.

... recamier - noun ... : a sometimes backless couch with a high curved headrest and low footrest ...
Two questions:
1) this is the first time they might have heard jokes about their name? Did they attend high-school?
2) the word recamier is quite different than the word sofa or recliner. Are they also concerned when Walmart uses the word recomier ( www.walmart.com )?

I have no problem accepting Mr. Vance's clothing choices. Besides, it's not the first time we've seen him with eyeliner and makeup. But it might be a good idea for him and his contingent to be a bit less judgmental toward others.

Can I just say, he looks Fabulous!!!!! JV claimed he believed he was (read dabbled in) gay in his youth, with the cross dressing and the Maybelline, it appears he never emerged from the other side. I believe JV is the subject matter for Sam Smith's song "Unholy."

Of course they heard jokes about their name. They just weren't amused by them.
(Actually, the worst joke was about how their name sounded like "wreck-a-mirror".)
"the word recamier is quite different than the word sofa or recliner."
The definition you posted earlier in the exact same comment suggests otherwise.

How can he be honest with the voters when he cannot be honest with himself?
First he was an atheist, now he's not.
First he thought Trump was heroin, now he loves hims
First he thought he was gay, now he's not.
The man has more positions than a yoga class.
Through in his opportunistic wife who defended his childless cat lady criticism as "He was only trying to insult women WHO CHOOSE not to have kids".
A. He should not be insulting anyone.
B. Who the ---- made him arbiter of anything that is NONE OF HIS BUSINESS?

Unbelievable! How is it that the completely Transphobic GOP continuously seems to gravitate toward trans-leaning candidates? It seems pretty obvious to anyone familiar with basic human psychology that a very high percentage of right wingers have a basic repressed desire and trans-sexual leaning.

Agreed. Or some fratboy stunt. It's not the only picture though. There is another that looks a bit more "seductive". lol Maybe that one is AI. Trump will say it is, I'm sure.

"It's his hypocrisy, stupid."
Hypocrisy is such a lame argument, on both sides. This is just as boring as when the right goes after Walz's "hypocwithy", and vice versa.
But if you do think hypocrisy is important with voters, you should be concerned with how the perception of attacking Vance's apparent queerness comes across as hypocritical...

Vance's gayness (real or not) wouldn't matter at all if he weren't hostile to the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Just to clarify something, many (not all) drag performers are NOT transgender. They enjoy cross dressing. This is even different from a person who enjoys cross dressing for sexual purposes.
Many drag performers are doing EXACTLY what JD Vance is doing-dressing as another gender for entertainment purposes.
They will NEVER admit it, because it throws their entire world view into question.
But it is a simple truth.
This act is exactly like a drag queen show.

As an aside, even in what was likely a light hearted situation, Vance looks miserable in those pictures, like he is a miserable person at heart.

Too bad the worthless press doesn't dig deep on truth and dangerous Commie Democrats like Kamala and Walz. Instead they hide from the people to protect themselves from their history. The press needs bankrupted for their inaction.
