Donald Trump's running mate JD Vance praised as a "patriot" a female MAGA voter who reportedly screamed "d--khead" at a poll worker and ripped off her shirt.
JD was impressed! Vance made it clear that's exactly the kind of voter he loves. "What a patriot," he gushed on X Friday.
Vance was responding to a pickup on X of a Reddit post recounting an unverified confrontation in which the woman, wearing a Trump shirt, reportedly erupted after she was told by the poll worker that political apparel is banned at polling stations.
The poster said the woman, who was not identified, called the worker a "d--khead" and told him: "Suck my c---." She then reportedly pulled off her shirt and voted in her bra.
JD's tweet no longer includes the Reddit message, but his comment remains.
Another Trump voter (from Texas) was arrested just last week after law enforcement authorities said he punched a poll worker who told him to take off his MAGA hat because it violated the rules. Jesse Lutzenberger, 63, has been charged with injury to an elderly person, according to an incident report from the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
As for Vance, critics came for him on social media (one asked him if the chubby voter in the photo was JD's mom).
He deleted the post, so here it is https://t.co/EFpXd5qjC5

‘What a patriot’ he says.
The rules against wearing political merchandise have existed in both blue and red states for decades.
And poll workers don’t deserve this treatment. That shouldn’t… pic.twitter.com/JPtOB6HsqA
What the actual f*ck is wrong with you?

You think insulting poll workers is patriotic?

She’s not a patriot. She accosted poll workers for enforcing a rule that has existed for decades.

Let’s also not forget that she stripped her shirt off in a public place where some parents bring their children to educate them about our election system.
She’s disgusting and…
You are pretty deranged to applaud this.

Why was it so hard for the woman to follow a well-known, long-standing rule that is there for very good reasons?

It’s ok to disrespect poll workers for doing their job now?!?

Oh yes, very demure of this patriot. Very classy. Very Christ-like. Very conservative and modest of her.

So Christian of you to celebrate that language.

Family values and whatnot.
Well, if you couch it that way...

You’re a disgusting POS.

This woman was breaking voting rules, and she subjected everybody else to her temper tantrum.
Gross.
Patriotic?

It has been THE LAW for eons that you can't wear campaign gear while voting.
You're freaking ridiculous.
