J.D. Vance’s weird, anti-woke punchline fell flat at his own sleepy speaking event on Monday.

Vance held a rally at his former high school in Middletown, Ohio, where hundreds gathered to hear the missives of Donald Trump’s newly-minted vice presidential candidate. But, even as a hometown hero, the Ohio senator suffered some brutally awkward moments.

“It is the weirdest thing to me: Democrats say that it is racist to believe—well, they say it’s racist to do anything,” said Vance. “I had a diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today. I’m sure they’re probably gonna call that racist, too.” Around the room there were some scattered laughs.

    I’m beginning to wonder if micro-plastics aren’t going to be our leaded gasoline. If they really do cross the blood brain barrier, I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t be impacting us long term with cognitive and behavioral variances.

      Don’t forget the forever chemicals, too! We fucked humanity so we could have non-stick coatings!
