Sitting in his taxpayer-funded mansion, JD Vance gave the Republican moral decay a new frontier this week. He is now repackaging xenophobia as common sense, declaring it perfectly reasonable for Americans to dislike foreign-speaking people.
During a recent Pod Force One episode with Miranda Devine, Vance sang a pious yet prejudiced sermon about border control. He pretended to quote scripture and spoke of “human dignity,” and quickly took a detour from theology to nationalism. Then, while dog-whistling to racists, he began justifying that American citizens can be racist towards immigrants living in their neighborhood.
