'Condescending P***k': JD Vance's Zelenskyy-Oval Office Anecdote Backfires Online

Vice President JD Vance was branded a “condescending prick” and more this week over the way he claimed to have welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into the Oval Office on Monday.

In a Wednesday interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Vance recalled telling Zelenskyy just before his meeting with President Donald Trump: “Mr. President, so long as you behave, I won’t say anything.”

Zelenskyy, Vance said, “just chuckled a little bit.”

-snip-

So, critics on social media weren’t impressed with Vance’s take:

And it only cost Theil a few million to invent this character. Once Trump is disposed of, they may decide they need to create a new character more likable than Vance. Vance is the very definition of punchable face, even if he doesn't say anything.

He'll drop Vance like a hot potato once the phony hillbilly stops being of any use to him.

Btw, I posted a video the other day about how awful Thiel is. He's as shallow as a birdbsth, and not nearly as useful.

...Vance will have the consequences of having an idiot driving the country like a drunk junkie driving a broken down Lamborghini with the brake lines cut on an icy mountain road fall on him.

The sullen little boy hasn't the guts, the intellectual capacity or the decency to face it.

Zelensky has been on the front line defending western democracy against the rapacious plutocratic fascist forces of darkness.

And Vance thinks his remarks are witty. So shallow. So clueless. So corrupted.

Zelenskyy could teach you AND your bottle-blonde White House Occupant a thing or two about courageous leadership. AND about not being arrogant in public when you really have little to brag about.
