Yeah this is normal?
Imagine living like this.
Oh wait school children EVERY FUCKING DAY.
oh yeah, this is the guy you want one big mac congested artery away from the presidency.
Did…did he leave his kids at minigolf?
If this story is even true, which I have strong doubts (sounds like he’s cosplaying a strong man), I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case
Stood like a sentry at his front door? Where he could easily get shot. Nothing about this makes sense.
Finally, my military cosplay comes to life!
JD Vance, probably
He’s lying. Trying to normalize irrational fears of political violence by his dumbass cult members. He wasn’t with his family, let alone mini golfing.
So you’re telling me you abandoned your kids, your greatest personal priority, during a moment of crisis Mr. Vance?
And you think we should trust you with the country?
That’s so weird.
When I heard that Trump got shot, I packed my kids in the car and said come on kids we’re going to celebrate with some nice mini golf!
just like every other 5 yr old boy who sees his daddy fall
I like that he just assumes Trump was killed and didn’t wait for whatever video footage he was watching to show the part where he got hoisted back up and turned it into political propaganda.
Was this before he was a vp pick?
Yeah a couple days before. The whole story is BS.
This idiot at least knows how to cult signal. He realized he had to pay homage to the cult’s Joseph Seed.
mini-golf…coz he just vice. president do real golf. pretty funny.
He wasn’t even the VP pick when Trump got shot. That happened a couple days later.
Uhhh, anyone else thinking this is not how I would expect a Vice President to respond? Or a Marine. I’m not saying he wasn’t a Marine. I’m saying no good Marine or VP would respond by hiding before he could finish watching the footage to realize Trump was still alive.
He jumped to flight so fast he thought entering an unsecure location and standing in one, easily avoided, spot was the go to move. For that kind of reaction I could be a better vice president. (And I’d be a shit VP)
I’m not saying he wasn’t a Marine.
A marine only on the latrine, perhaps?
He’s got kids, his first priority was getting them home to safety and making sure he was ready if anyone was moving in on him.
Then realized he’s a loser when nobody came for him.
The post was worded like he just left his kids at the mini golf place lmao
That’s how I read it and I refuse to believe any reality where his kids aren’t still standing at the mini golf place waiting for dad to come back.
I also move unescorted and unarmed (possibly with my kids in tow??) to the one place in the world a would-be assassin would most expect me to be when I’m genuinely afraid for my life instead of just, I dunno, a fucking police station or something.
he’s full of shit.
his security detail would not have let him camp his front door with a loaded arsenal.
That’s kind of what I was thinking in my other comment. In this man’s version of events, there’s no chance he had a security detail because they wouldn’t let him do this stupid shit, but then if he didn’t, he took one of the worst courses of action possible. But it’s so unlikely that he didn’t have Secret Service on him at the time that yeah, I’m led to conclude like you did that he’s just lying his ass off to try to sound heroic.
What security detail? He wasn’t even VP pick yet
Title 18 U.S.C.’ 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.
He wasn’t a vice president candidate until the RNC a week or two after Trump was shot at.
He was running against trump to be president. This was also before the RNC picked a candidate.
Good point, dude was dumb under pressure.
Yeah, and it strikes me as a string of dumb decisions. Like obviously yeah, he was right to get himself and his kids off the mini-golf course. You really don’t know with this kind of thing if it’s coordinated, but after that… I think Vance should get Secret Service under 18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7), so maybe I was wrong and he was escorted? But then it’s weird as hell that he would’ve been standing at his door like a “sentry” when the Secret Service would probably want him as far away from entryways as possible. And I still think it’s weird to go to his house instead of chilling at the police station for maybe an hour or so while they figure out what the fuck happened.
18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056 “(7)Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and, within 120 days of the general Presidential election, the spouses of such candidates. As used in this paragraph, the term “major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates” means those individuals identified as such by the Secretary of Homeland Security after consultation with an advisory committee consisting of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, the majority and minority leaders of the Senate, and one additional member selected by the other members of the committee. The Committee shall not be subject to chapter 10 of title 5.”
Yeah he’s either a moron and did what he said, or he lies with a story a moron would come up with. The actual story of “The secret service took me to a safehouse” sounds cooler. Or maybe they just forgot to protect him? Lol. I don’t know which scenario is the funniest.
Oh no, when there are multiple options for a Trumper “stupid fucking lie” is always the right one.
It’s either with his kids in tow, or he left them behind lol.
What video did he see? Was it live or after the fact? Trump stood there and kept talking, how did Vance think he had been killed? Oh wait, other commenters pointed out the answer, he’s fucking lying.
It’s either that or he’s actually got no balls and immediately went into flight mode without waiting to see Trump get up like 5 seconds later.
Apparently he did book it from a bar, so he may not and is just that stupid and panicky. Which is frankly what I expect rich yuppies arent known for their intelligence.
