JD Vance's Claim About Trump's 'Common Sense' Leads To Brutal Reminders

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the Republican candidate for vice president, offered up a two-word summary of his running mate that isn’t going over very well with his critics.

Playing off a line he used during Tuesday night’s debate with Democratic counterpart Tim Walz, Vance wrote a message on X praising Donald Trump for having governed with “common sense” during his term as president.

Vance’s critics delivered a not-so-subtle reminder that Trump’s presidency was marked by anything but “common sense.”

They fired back on X:

Yes, he is perhaps best known for his common sense. https://t.co/IUewBR3Gi8 pic.twitter.com/i3TQiIUTNj

Does inciting violence really count as common sense? https://t.co/WsfWehpS2G

No, he didn’t, or this wouldn’t be a contest.
It would be a walk in the park.
But Trump’s absence of common sense, completely egotistical & self-centered behavior, his endless need to portray himself as all-powerful and all-knowing, and traitorous actions changed all that.

Someone you called “America’s Hitler”, “cultural heroin” a “fraud” “unfit for the highest office in the land” has “common sense” even though you messaged your friends in 2020 “Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism…” ?https://t.co/Ro346sTh70

Donald Trump governed with common sense?! 😳 You know better. You have described him as unfit for office and compared him to Hitler.

Because nothing says common sense, like injecting bleach into your veins or shining a UV light up your ass https://t.co/cVvULMLQsK

Remember, VPs aren’t in power. Civics 101. Also, common sense and Trump? Nope. But he is a 34 times felon.

Trump bungled the Covid pandemic. He fired the emergency response team. 1,000,000 Americans died on his watch. How can you say he governed with common sense by telling people to inject bleach??? pic.twitter.com/qWaAXtSswf

Below is the HEADLINE from the paper of record in JD’s supposed now hometown of Cincinnati on
MARCH6 2020. Please note this was before Covid and Donald Trump was President. 2019, when Trump was President, was Ohio’s WORST JOBS YEAR since 2009. #JDVanceIsALiar https://t.co/8p6luTvA1g pic.twitter.com/RjO6aQUra5
