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.
That’s obviously the best answer, so much so that I got a soda stream off FB for cheap and I make soda water with it.
My brain is addicted to the carbonated part. Not the syrup. I drink so much more water now that I can carbonate it.
But yeah, for people who are addicted to sugar soda, my point still stands.
