Vance refused to immediately speak on the topic, sidestepping instead to briefly elaborate on his conspiracy that Haitian migrants are eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio.

“Do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don’t,” Vance continued. “I also don’t think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No. Kamala Harris is running for president, and whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.”

      Yeah, was using “fried chicken” as an example just a coincidence? In theory, it could be just a random food that came to mind but given that Harris is Black and Indian, it’s seems super likely that there have been racist comments/memes/etc. about curry and fried chicken getting served at the White House that put these top of mind for Vance. IDK if it was deliberate dog whistling or the unintentional result of Vance steeping in blatant racism.

      It’s especially funny considering how much fried chicken Trump eats.
