... The caustic comment came in response to a reporter's question about an "altercation" Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, where Trump reportedly posed for photos over the objections of cemetery officials.

Vance said Trump had been invited by family members of some of the 13 service members killed during the disastrous U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

"If she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up, she can go to hell," Vance said at a campaign event in Erie, Pennsylvania, where his supporters burst into chants of "USA! USA! USA!"

Even in a campaign marked by insulting rhetoric, "go to hell" stands out as one of the cruder public condemnations of a political opponent this year. Trump has previously called Harris "dumb" and as recently as Tuesday shared a social media post by a user on his "Truth Social" platform insinuating Harris used sexual favors to advance her political career. ...

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance said Wednesday that Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris "can go to hell."

Harris hasn't commented on the cemetery incident, contrary to Vance's suggestion. When Vance was asked about it, he said the media was blowing it out of proportion."

'

Shady JD is blowing an evangelical dog whistle... yet again.

A. She hadn't said anything about it.

B. It was the Cemetery personnel who complained about Trump's people breaking the rules of photos and campaigning.

But hey, desperate thugs say desperate things.

@#2 ... She hadn't said anything about it. ...

Her campaign did. And rightly so. Fmr Pres Trump's political visit was an egregious showing of disrespect for those who gave their lives for the Country.

Trump Arlington cemetery incident pretty sad,' Harris campaign says
www.cnbc.com

... Key Points

- - - A reported physical confrontation between former President Donald Trump's campaign aides and an official at Arlington National Cemetery is "pretty sad" but "it's not surprising coming from the Trump team," says a spokesman for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.

- - - NPR reported that two members of the Republican nominee's campaign team had a verbal and physical altercation with an Arlington cemetery official when Trump arrived with cameras and an entourage at a wreath-laying ceremony in a section where recent U.S. military casualties are buried.

- - - Trump's campaign staff posted images of his visit to the military cemetery, and released a video attacking Harris that used clips from the visit.

- - - Arlington confirmed "there was an incident" and noted that "federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes." ...

[emphasis mine]

So, Sen Vance seems to be continuing to acknowledge that fmr Pres Trump broke the law (again!) with his political campaign visit to the Cemetery.

Low bred weirdo with a thing for dophins/women erotica has the nerve to talk that way to a Vice President rather than admit his butt buddy shouldn't have been engaging in cemetery desecration FTS.

First half of clip is JD Vance today saying he doesn't need a teleprompter like Kamala Harris because he's smart. Second half of clip is him minutes later calling Abbey Gate in Afghanistan "Abbey Road," which is a Beatles album.

"Two sources told USA TODAY the incident occurred when a member of Trump's team pushed his way into recording in a part of the cemetery, known as Section 60, where photography is prohibited.

Video from Section 60, where recently buried U.S. service members are interred, later appeared in a Trump campaign Tik Tok in which he criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the presidency.

"Donald Trump has no right to use our most hallowed ground for his political aims," Fred Wellman, a 22-year Army combat veteran, said Wednesday.

"For a lot of us, and I'm not the only one, people are aptly furious."

Guess those Vets can, "Go to Hell!", too, eh, Shady?

@#6

Does Sen Vance have a clue?

Or is he just relying, as it appears, upon the backing of a billionaire to become a mouthpiece for that billionaire's opinions?

Citizens United, you created this. All because it did not seem to like Pres Bush's response to 9/11.

Decoding 'Minnesota nice': A culture of kindness gives weight to words like 'weird' (August 9, 2024)
www.npr.org

...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been all over the news, as has the term "Minnesota nice." It's a stereotype born from a culture of kindness and politeness and gives words like "weird" extra weight.

AILSA CHANG, HOST:

As Governor Tim Walz continues to hit the campaign trail, there is a certain phrase you may be hearing a lot - Minnesota nice. It's a term that's deeply familiar to residents of the state. On one hand, it's kind of a stereotype that's exactly what it sounds like, says Rachel Hutton, a culture reporter for the Star Tribune newspaper in Minneapolis.

RACHEL HUTTON: People in Minnesota are literally nice, meaning they're kind. They're polite. They will help you push your car out of a snowbank if you get stuck in the winter.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:

On the other hand, she says, Minnesotans have a habit of understatement and a certain way of, well, avoiding confrontation.

...

CHANG: Hutton says, Tim Walz is a master of the understated insult. At a rally earlier this week, Walz said this about Donald Trump and JD Vance.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

TIM WALZ: These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell. That's what you see.

HUTTON: Walz is going to use really harsh language that - in Minnesota speak, calling someone weird is - that's sort of going for the jugular. That's, like, a very harsh statement. ...

The sad thing is you can tell he was practicing different ways to deliver this line, and you can tell when he hesitated that he was deciding on which way to go with it.

SNL is gonna have a field day with this guy, just like they did with Palin.

Shady JD is just doing his part to "calm down the rhetoric" and "pump the brakes".

JD Vance is still bitter about having been beaten up and/or outsmarted by the girls he went to high school with.

I wonder if Vance is an Alice Cooper fan. The mascara would kind of suggest so.
