JD Vance likened Vice President Kamala Harris to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a wild interview on Sunday, where he also claimed that polls showing him and Donald Trump losing are “fake”.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, the Republican vice presidential candidate made the bizarre comparison between the Democratic presidential contender and Epstein, the late notorious sex criminal who had known connections to central figures in American political life, including both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.

“Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy,” Vance told host Shannon Bream, as he attempted to land an attack on Harris over the issue of the economy. Vance went on to power through his analogy and claim that the American people were “smarter” and would supposedly therefore not choose the vice president come November. “The American people are much smarter than that. They don’t buy the idea that Kamala Harris represents a fresh start,” he said.

Bream did not challenge his invocation of Epstein’s name. She did, however, press him on whether the Trump campaign was living in a fantasy as it continues to claim that polling shows the former president ahead of Harris.

Projection.

[Irish_Dem]

1. Same thing they did to Hillary.

Called her a pedophile.

Why does the GOP keep falsely accusing female Dems of running child sex rings?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. Projection.

Daily Kos: CajsaLilliehook-Republican sexual predators

[Irish_Dem]

19. Yes of course.

The GOP is obsessed with sex and not in a good way.

[canuckledragger]

40. Like Hermit said, it's all projection.

It's overwhelmingly been conservative republicans in the news that keep getting caught and convicted of paedophilia in one form or another, especially youth pastors.

Remember the 3 C's of pedos...Cops, clergy and coaches.

[Irish_Dem]

45. Yes sociopaths typically accuse others of committing the crimes they are committing.

[Shermann]

2. "Fake polls" are the perfect issue to bluster about on a campaign

If he gets elected, he looks brilliant. If he doesn't get elected, Trump voters will write off those bogus campaign assurances.

[BoRaGard]

3. So he's as big and constant a liar as the G.OP. felon/Rapist

Wow - where do the republicons find the dishonorable douchebags? I guess they beed them. Lie after lie after lie, and all of them stinkingly obvious.

Unless, of course, you are a "sucker and a loser."

[JI7]

4. Bream did not challenge his invocation of Epstein's name

another failure.

[GB_RN]

6. Goes Without Saying...

That he wasn’t challenged. I mean, J Divan Vance was on Faux Nuz, after all.

[mwb970]

5. * Sighs heavily *

[JohnSJ]

7. Hey MSM time to show the relationship between Epstein and trump

[AverageOldGuy]

8. Time for Republicans to face facts.

When Trump was running against Biden, it was likely Trump would win.

Biden took one of the most statesmanlike actions in our history when he realized the time had come for the Democratic Party to shift its focus from the WW II generation to the new generations who were looking for someone new to keep the nation on the right track.

OVERNIGHT Trump went down the tubes. Just watch the news -- for Harris and Walz there's nothing but excitement, huge crowds, money rolling in, volunteers pouring in, polls suddenly show Trump losing and his losing margin growing bigger every day.

Meanwhile, Trump and Vance are stuck in a rut of their own making.

In a little over two months, Harris-Walz will win with a huge popular vote and a big majority in the Electoral College. Trump's "stolen election" bullshit will be tossed aside and on Jan 20, 2025, on MLK Day, the first Black female Supreme Court Justice will swear in the first Black female President.

A few weeks later, no one will even remember who Harris-Walz ran against.

[mucholderthandirt]

20. This part gave me goosebumps.

on Jan 20, 2025, on MLK Day, the first Black female Supreme Court Justice will swear in the first Black female President

I am so glad I'm alive to see this. Makes my old heart feel so good!

[NJCher]

23. I'm not so sure you're correct about trump winning

Over the weekend, I heard at least 2 commentators say they thought Biden would have won.

One was that tall guy with the glasses. I think it was on Alex Witt. He's a good commentator but I just can't think of his name.

Regardless, we didn't need the nailbiter. Furthermore, she has brought out voters in younger categories that weren't likely to vote.

On edit: one was Matthew Dowd.

[PSPS]

25. I disagree that "When Trump was running against Biden, it was likely Trump would win."

That illusion was created out of whole cloth by the media to have a horse race to sell. Unlike 2016, when trump was still an unknown quantity, everyone knows what he is now and, as I've said, the democrats could nominate a ham sandwich and still win.

What's funny is that now, when the handwriting on the wall couldn't be more obvious, the media is still going to embarrassingly-ridiculous lengths to maintain the horse race charade.

[Skittles]

31. just one quibble

Harris is not a "new generation", she is a Boomer, just like Obama is

[Metaphorical]

36. Sort of

Those of us who were born after 1960 (I was born in 63, Obama was 1961, Harris was 1964) don't really consider ourselves Boomers. Culturally and politically, we're a lot closer to GenX. We're quieter, more introverted, and generally more technical.

[Skittles]

37. there is only three years between Harris and Obama

hardly a new generation - if anything, the torch was passed back again

[BumRushDaShow]

53. We are "Tail-end Boomers"

Obama and I are 4 months apart. Almost all of my neighborhood friends growing up had older brothers and/or sisters who averaged 2 - 4 years older and who all played with us, and wrapped "everyone" into whatever was going on that defined "boomer". These are kids who were born before the "0" population era happened (pre-"the pill" becoming ubiquitous) where instead, families had 3 or more kids.

What ended up defining "Gen X" were not the oldest of them but the youngest of them - the "grunge" / "Beavis & Butt-head" / disconnected crowd.

I don't relate to any of that.

9. This guy gets wierder and wierder every day.

[PSPS]

26. They don't call him "shady" for nothing

[Dulcinea]

49. Oh JD, bless your heart.

This shitstain will deny reality until the bitter end.

[magicarpet]

10. ReThugs like to accuse political opponent at being pedophiles,...

... because they know child molesters are universally hated by all political stripes.

These Fascists view tagging someone as a pedophile as a winning trifecta bet because they are inflicting the maximum damage fathomable against their political opponent. Who wants to vote for a child molester, a puppy killer, or a commie socialist ?

Repeat those derogatory smears frequently and often on the campaign trail. Dehumanize the competition and dump them in the filthiest trash heap imaginable. That is the ReThug method for winning elections,.. fight dirty and drag em through the rankest cesspool of raw sewage so no voter would ever consider putting a check by their name while in the voting booth.

[Blue Owl]

11. I don't recall seeing Kamala Harris' name peppered all over the Epstein files

But I do recall Donald tRump’s name peppered all over the Epstein files

[Brenda]

12. Donald Trump used Jeffrey Epstein's former jet for campaign appearances

13 Aug 2024

Donald Trump used a plane that was once owned by Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, to fly to several presidential campaign events last weekend, it has been revealed.

The former president flew on a Gulfstream G-550 jet whose previous ownership was subsequently traced to Epstein after Trump’s own private plane – a Boeing 757 known colloquially as Trump Force One – encountered engine troubles.

The Trump campaign said it was unaware of the plane’s previous ownership when it chartered it from Private Jet Services Group, a charter jet vendor it occasionally uses, after the technical problems with the former president’s own aircraft.

[rurallib]

13. Vance and Trump are the two most contemptible humans I have ever heard of

[Evolve Dammit]

14. They are insane. Not just "weird." This is bat-shit fucking crazy. Make Reagan and Bush look normal? Sorta. They

were just 20- 30% less assholes. Anecdotal numbers. Drumpf Lite. All the fascism with a veneer of civility.
GOP are domestic terrorists IMHO at this point.

[Pachamama]

30. Twisted

That’s the word that comes to mind when I think of Vance and Trump

[Evolve Dammit]

56. Seriously twisted. Sociopathic criminality

[Cirsium]

15. The headline

Vance didn't compare Harris to Epstein. He compared giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy to giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy. It is bad enough without misrepresenting it.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. It's still a "comparison"

and he picked a man who his running mate was not only extensively involved with in the past, but who is currently using the man's plane while his own is undergoing repairs.

He could have used another analogy but didn't. Why is that?

[Cirsium]

22. True

No doubt he was trying to associate Harris with Epstein. You are absolutely right about that.

It is a ridiculous analogy. Giving a child trafficker control over human trafficking policy is like, what? Giving an inflater control over inflation policy? It just doesn't work.

[tetedur]

48. Actually Jeffrey Epstein was quite the expert in human trafficking

as was Jeffrey's friend Ghislaine Maxwell. Is Vance using a nasty reference to underhandedly compliment VP Harris? Are nasty references the only ones he can manage? Does Trump's association with Epstein bother Vance? Does it bother Vance that Trump "wished" (Ghislaine) well" when she faced being brought to justice? Does it nag at his conscience? Is he subconsciously trying to draw attention to Epstein and Trump's association?

[mucholderthandirt]

21. The word they were looking for was "equates". Different meaning.

[prodigitalson]

18. he wants to go there? epstein?

[not fooled]

24. They're either dumb or think their voters are

or both.

[prodigitalson]

32. i am going with both

[MrWowWow]

27. Whaddaya Want From a Couch Fucker?

Vance has a terminal case of verbal diahrrea.

[BOSSHOG]

28. Trump is beating the hell out of VP Harris

In the Felony tally

34 to nothing. Trump wins that contest. Brag JD, go on tell us about your bosses lead.

[Dave Bowman]

29. Shady should avoid the brown acid.

[Initech]

33. Cause and effect, asshole!

Yes your polls are in the shitter because you're so vile and awful and Harris and Biden are going to make sure you know it!

[keithbvadu2]

34. Obviously a lie because Trump would be on her plane.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

35. Okay, then let's talk Jeffrey Epstein, shall we?!

[mpcamb]

54. Only ONE person on either ticket had a relationship with Jeffery Epstein.

Let's start there.

[geniph]

38. Every Republican accusation is a confession

n/t

[Botany]

52. Straight out of the Vlad Putin playbook.

Blame your opponent or connect him/her to pedophilia.

[tornado34jh]

39. What skeletons does he have in his closet?

Forget Epstein for a moment, what do you think he secretly searches for/does behind the scenes (i.e. when he is not away from the spotlight)? I will bet you that he probably has secrets that he is hiding.

[johnnyfins]

41. This isnt they go low we go high anymore

They wanna throw epstein in the mix? Tim Walz has a daughter. Im sure the Epstein mess enrages him like every other American. Look for the epstein/ tsf connection to find its way into one of his speeches. Then look for TSF to threaten a lawsuit. Its gonna be fun...

[PortTack]

42. Good gawd...I read where this idiot is angry with tsf for not being out campaigning...sounds more like seething

[Aussie105]

43. In some countries making up negative stuff about your political opponent and spreading that in public

is considered slander and legally actionable.

So what specifically are you accusing Kamala of, Mr Vance? (Be careful!)

[GoneOffShore]

44. And this is why he never became Sergeant Press Release

[Deek1935]

46. Vance is a headfucked WEIRDO and absolutely NOTHING else.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

47. Epstein was Trump's buddy Vance

But if you want to open that door go right ahead.

[BlueMTexpat]

50. Desperation!

How many times did tsf ride in Epstein's plane and how many times was he mentioned in the Epstein court case?

Perhaps Vance shouldn't have brought this topic up!

[GiqueCee]

51. J.D.Vance...

... or whatever his name is this week, is a lying sack of pig excrement with the moral compass of a rabid hyena.

[Kid Berwyn]

55. What happens on the modular sectional stays on the modular sectional, eh JD?
