Just about every time J.D. Vance — the most unpopular vice presidential nominee in American history — opens his mouth, he ignites a firestorm of criticism and likely shaves another point off the Republican presidential ticket’s polling numbers.

On Sunday, in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Vance admitted that he and Donald Trump made up a baseless and racist story about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” said Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio.

Ironically, Vance’s attempt to point out imagined “suffering” has led to actual suffering by his own constituents.

      He can resign from society like Howard Hughes. I wish he would.

            Thanks! Now that I’ve got a fan base to disappoint, it’s time say something disturbingly sexist or transphobic.

            Girls have a button and boys have a pole. Wicked touching takes its toll.

          Or just save his toenail clippings in jars like Hughes. Whatever. Just go into Mar-a-Lago and never come out of his room again.
