'Who’s gonna tell him': Vance mocked over ironic response to Taylor Swift endorsement



2024 vice presidential nominee Senator JD Vance (R-OH) shared his thoughts on the endorsement Kamala Harris received from superstar Taylor Swift following the 2024 Democratic nominee's debate against Donald Trump Tuesday night.

Speaking with Vance on Wednesday, Fox News’ Martha MacCallum mentioned the endorsement, asking how he and his potential boss plan to handle it.

"It was interesting last night, that Taylor Swift gave her endorsement of Harris and andWalz right after [the debate]," MacCallum said. "She has 283 million followers on Instagram, and I’m sure thatsomeone brought your attention that she signed it ‘Childless Cat Lady.’ This is a phrase thatyou are going to hear in your in your dreams and your nightmares, probably for manyyears to come. How do you speak to women voters, who, obviously, care about what she thinks?"

Vance replied, "We admire Taylor Swift's music, but I don't think many people are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans."

The Ohio lawmaker added, "Look, when grocery prices go up by 20%, it hurts most Americans. It doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift. When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire. It does affect middle class Americans all over our country."

James Singer, who serves as Kamala HArris' rapid response adviser replied: "JD Vance is the running mate of a billionaire B-list celebrity who is disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans."

Georgia State Rep. Michelle Au added: "Who’s gonna tell him."

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
