Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 17, 2026

JD Vance's appearance on The View is raising eyebrows -- but not for his heated political debate with Ana Navarro or his admitting to being a "conspiracy theorist" about the Epstein files. Instead, people who tuned into the ABC daytime talk show episode Tuesday to see the vice president discuss his new book, Communion, were shocked by his bold TV makeup. Vance, 41, came on the show appearing to wear eyeliner -- which his wife, Usha Vance, has said in the past is not makeup, but actually his thick eyelashes -- and a heavy amount of orange bronzer.

"JD Vance went real heavy on the eyeliner & mascara today," one viewer wrote on X. Another person added: "JD Vance on @TheView this morning ... I think Trump must have loaned him his orange makeup."

"Not sure what's worse. The fact that JD Vance got cooked by the women on The View, or that JD Vance had the most makeup of anyone at the table," one person wrote on X.

... a heavy amount of orange bronzer ...

Apparently, orange bronzer is needed to appeal to the MAGA cult.

"Vance, 41, came on the show appearing to wear eyeliner"

Vice President J.D. Vance is seen wearing eyeliner every day he's in front of the cameras.

He's got that Raccoon Eye thing down.

The eyeliner gives him the evil look of a movie villain.

You can even see the area by his hairline where the orange bronzer was not applied.

He's part of the "guyliner" community.

Does he stand in front of mirrors and growls "ARRR" in a Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow way?

Does Vance also wear panties?
