Podcaster Jon Favreau Rips JD Vance Over Minneapolis ICE Shooting: 'What the F--k Is Wrong With You?'

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lasher (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

“Pod Save America” host Jon Favreau ripped Vice President JD Vance on X Thursday morning over the latter’s politically charged reaction to an ICE agent’s fatal Wednesday shooting of a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis.

-snip-

“Every congressional democrat and every democrat who’s running for president should be asked a simple question: Do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over?” the vice president wrote on X. “These people are going to try to arrest our law enforcement for doing their jobs. The least the media could do is ask them about it.”

Favreau quickly called out Vance’s use of “deranged leftist” to describe the victim, identified as U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good. “What the f—k is wrong with you?” the former speechwriter asked in a quote-tweet response to Vance’s original post.

“You have no idea who this woman was. You have no idea what she believed,” he continued. “You have no idea what an actual investigation might show. A 37-year-old American citizen was killed. Her 6-year-old son has been orphaned. Her family and friends are going through the worst moment of their lives. And all you can do is call her a ‘deranged leftist’? Seriously what the f—k is wrong with you?”

but I had to quit. I have to say the man has the charisma of a dirty dishrag and it is unlikely he'll ever be president unless Trump steps down, becomes incapacitated, or dies in office.

he flat out said this new assistant attorney generals prosecutions will be through the executive branch and therefore immune to any oversight by congress or our judicial system which a normal appointment like this or a special prosecutor type appointment would as our Constitution requires. They are going to try creating their own secret enforcer, judge, jury and executioner system run strictly by the executive branch. He flat out said they were going to bypass the Constitution ANED that they were going to go after QANYONE who helps or organizes these protests AND anyone who helps or finances the "radical left terrorists" in this country. He was trying to put everyone on notice that the little dicks were now large and in charge. They are pouring nitro-methanol on whats going on by the tons.

Attached to Trump's ass with his sucker-like mouth, cleaning off the bits of shit surrounding Trump's ass, and getting a free ride to - what he and Peter Thiel - hope will be a free ride to the presidency.

Go fuck your sofa, JD.

I heard JDVance (not his real name). He sounds like a high school sophomore who just read a book by Hitler.

Now they attack an innocent American who was simply trying to obey conflicting ICE orders and drive away. Trump's Gestapo.

We don't think this is important news of national interest. We think it would be a good OP in the GD Forum.
