‘Pot Meet Kettle’: JD Vance’s ‘Free Political Advice’ For Dems Gets Hurled Back At Him

Vice President JD Vance on Monday gave his “very simple” piece of “free political advice” for Democrats when asked by Fox News’ Jesse Watters about the electability of the party’s candidates with the midterms around the corner.

“It’s just elect — nominate normal human beings,” said Vance, who chuckled and claimed he was the “worst person to ask” how the party could win votes.

Vance, who was responding to a question on whether Texas state Rep. James Talarico and Maine’s Graham Platner could “win back men” with Democrats, proceeded to offer a bouquet of right-wing talking points.

“Don’t run on men playing in women’s sports, don’t run on letting illegal immigrants flood our country and don’t let run on letting fraudsters in Minnesota’s take advantage of the American taxpayer and you guys would do a lot better,” he said.

“I don’t know why Democrats can’t just find normal, well-adjusted candidates, whether men or women; I think they would do a lot better. But I’m not complaining, Jesse, because I think it puts our party, my party, in a much better position to perform in the midterms.”

Critics teased the self-described “coolest” veep of all-time over his words of advice with some turning to the debunked rumor that he once had sex with a couch and others suggesting he — and other GOPers — aren’t so “normal” themselves.

“Pot meet kettle. Exhibit B: Ken Paxton,” wrote opinion columnist Sophia A. Nelson in a post to X.

“Projection, much?” asked @DenaePFA, who identifies as a former organizer for ex-2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

Yes, they need to find normal people like Donald Trump, RFK Jr, Stephen Miller and JD Vance.

Bold take from a guy whose political career has had more plot twists than a telenovela.
