JD Vance has a choice. He can disavow Tucker Carlson or lose an election

JD Vance has a choice. He can disavow Tucker Carlson or lose an election

Tucker Carlson has gone off the rails in defending Hitler, and if JD Vance appears with him, it will torpedo the Republican Party in this election.

"SNIP...........

The Republican Party just blew itself up this week, and JD Vance didn’t notice.

Here in Phoenix to stump for his party’s presidential ticket, Vance put out a press release saying he would not distance himself from Tucker Carlson.

That is to say, Vance would not step out of the mushroom cloud that Carlson, the former Fox News personality, created when he invited a Hitler apologist onto his podcast and fawned all over him.

............

Carlson, who got a primetime speaking spot at the Republican National Convention this summer, invited amateur historian and World War II revisionist Darryl Cooper to tell Carlson’s mega-audience that Hitler was misunderstood.

...........SNIP"

in. That is Trump's advantage: he repeats things over and over again so the image sinks into the minds the 60 percent of Americans who are visual thinkers and pick up on patterns, not one off stories.

Perhaps a tape of him molesting/raping a pre-teen girl, but that's about it. Then again, how many times would he have to say "fake!" before his MAGAs would believe him, or pretend to believe him? If Fox got the word from on high to attack the little girl, they would do so with enthusiasm, and then some.

They know the WW2 Nazi collaborators got away with it neonazi groups have infiltrated all kinds of law enforcement.

They plan stealing the election, not winning it.

"I don't need your votes" -- they plan stealing and are counting on state legislature and the corrupt SCOTUS to do it

make a real difference in support for Vance. I was hopeful, but after reading for several days I no longer believe it will matter.
