A 2007 Miss Teen USA contestant who drew widespread mockery because of a stuttering response to a question that she fielded at the competition has said “it’s a shame” – and also condemned “online bullying” – after JD Vance recirculated a video of her difficult moment to attack Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile, the Republican nominee for vice-president in November’s election has ruled out apologizing to Caitlin Upton, who has spoken openly about how she previously contemplated suicide at the height of the ordeal revived by Vance.
