J.D. Vance Spends Weird, Low-Energy Speech Praising Diet Mountain Dew
newrepublic.com

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.

Ew he drank DIET? Is he some weird LEFTY MARXIST COMMUINIST? Real Americans have FULL SUGAR

Americans 👏 consume 👏 high 👏 fructose 👏 corn 👏 syrup

My taxes subsidized all that corn, I gotta get my money's worth!!

nuh uh According to my extremely conservative coworker, that stuff causes cancer and big soda is trying to kill us. Something like that

But then turns around to order snake oil and miracle pills from Infowars, then takes his daily hydroxychloroquine tab and rolling coal on some Tesla owner

And if you say maybe sugar should be taxed or banned, you’re a commie pedo

Diet Mountain Dew tastes like absolute trash. It's like they just replaced the pound of sugar in each bottle with an equal amount of bitter aspartame with no other recipe adjustments.

and if its only 1 soda a day, just drink the regular one ya fucking loon. Vance is younger than me, I don't drink soda very often, and when I do enjoy a regular Mt Dew. Stuff is fuckin good!

One bottle has 77g of sugar, even one a day is an incredible amount of sugar for the average diet, thats in conjunction with I assume other sugary foods too.

Most drinks in general just have way way too much sugar.

Freedom is consuming the sugary chemical water of the megacorporations.
