We are in the home stretch of the midterm elections, and that means candidates are pulling out all the stops — particularly in close elections like the Ohio Senate race. For Republican candidate — and Yale Law School’s permanent black eye — J.D. Vance, that means a wild visit to the Tucker Carlson where he mashed together right-wing buzzwords to craft a nonsensical attack on his opponent Tim Ryan.
Don’t believe me? Watch for yourself.

Yes, he appears to have conflated Ryan’s support of immigration reform and support for gender affirming care for those relying on state medical care. As Kat Abu of Media Matters For America coined it — it’s “mad libs for bigots.” But that wasn’t the only person ridiculing the appearance.

…then they take the now-transgendered illegal aliens and teach them Critical Race Theory, while forcing them get abortions. While they're still drugged up on fentanyl from both surgeries, they release them in the suburbs for a crime-orgy.

Though some see a tactical motivation behind the appearance, despite Vance’s slim lead in the polls.
Does JD Vance not have this put away yet or something? This is the kind of interview you generally see candidates do when they’re still struggling to consolidate their base. I have a hard time believing that’s where Vance is tho I know a bunch of OH Rs who aren’t backing him. https://t.co/pfpODixoLG

We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see what voters really think of this nonsense.
