Speaking to The New York Times, the Ohio senator grew agitated when repeatedly asked if Trump had lost

No one dwells on the 2020 election nearly as much as Donald Trump, who reminds supporters of his refusal to concede at nearly every campaign stop. But in an hour-long interview with The New York Times, Trump's latest running mate wanted to talk about anything but the former president's central, animating grievance.

"Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" is the simple question that the Times' Lulu Garcia-Navarro asked Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, five times during an interview that is set to be published in full on Sunday. Five times Vance refused to answer.

He also sounds (by his words, not necessarily his voice) like the stupidest debate bros you see internet comments. “I have answered your question with another question”? Sorry bro, this just makes you sound like an unbearable jackass to normal people, despite what all your little Xitter likes tell you.

[-] Trebuchet@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Exactly. And is he unfamiliar with the format of TV interviews? 5-star asshole.

I have answered your question with a question

Things couch fuckers say.

"What was the answer?"

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He absolutely stopped developing after the bro stage.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He's not even cool enough to be a bro. And I mean that's a stupidly low bar. No he's just a douche.

This is one of the brown-nosing prerequisites to becoming Weird 34's running mate. He also obediently licks Dementia DonOLD's shoes when commanded.

Gotta say only couch fuckers won't say yes or no if Trump lost the election.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
