The Republican presidential nominee made the weirdest comment in his interview with Joe Rogan.
JD Vance claimed that he and Donald Trump could likely win the votes of “normal” gay men because they “just want to be left the hell alone.”
Vance appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience for a three-hour interview released Thursday, discussing everything from Emily in Paris to him standing at his front door for an hour with a loaded gun after the first Trump assassination attempt.
But one of the wildest moments in the interview came when Vance told Rogan he believed he and Trump would win the “normal gay guy vote” due to the “extremist religion” of “wokeness.”
“Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if me and Trump won just the normal gay guy vote, because again, they just want to be left the hell alone,” Vance said. “And now you have all this crazy stuff on top of it that they’re like ‘No, no … we didn’t want to give pharmaceutical products to 9-year-olds who are transitioning their genders.’”
Rogan then went on to discuss how it’s actually the transgender movement that’s homophobic, pushing some of his most outlandish anti-trans views yet.

My dudes, this guy is so fucking weird.
You’re not a “normal gay guy” if you don’t respect trans rights; normal from their frame of mind just means gold medal olympic mental gymnasts.
The legendary female father of Kim Kardashian.
LOL at all the outrage on here. Vance knows what he’s doing. This is a clear signal to any waffling gay men that, “It’s OK to vote for us! You’re one of the good ones, one of the normal ones.”
We promise you won’t be dealt with first, maybe second or third, but not first!
The number of normal gay guys who see my trans ass as family counters this one obviously
And to be clear here, I’ve met gay men who support trump and hate trans people. They’re weird. They’re the sort of gay people who don’t have any gay friends and I judge gay people for that harder than I judge straight people for it. Sometimes it just happens that a straight person doesn’t have any gay friends, gay people who don’t tend to be massively homophobic.
For no reason in particular you made me think about my circle of friends and realize I’m not sure if anyone I know is gay, because almost the entirety of my friend group is some flavor of bi/ace/demi/pan and/or trans/NB. I think there’s only 2-3 straight people in my whole group, and I don’t know how much I count since my two partners are Trans-questioning or NB lol.
He’s projecting, deep down he thinks of himself as a “normal” gay guy. Him and a bunch of the Republicans he works with
I think you’ve got him pegged…
So does his wife.
“The sexual act […] is when a woman penetrates a man anally using a strap-on dildo.”
Idk seems straighter than him
But one of the wildest moments in the interview came when Vance told Rogan he believed he and Trump would win the “normal couch fucker vote” due to the “total hotness” of “suede.”
…to him standing at his front door for an hour with a loaded gun after the first Trump assassination attempt.
I’m sorry, what? This isn’t the story?
From a fictional novel, maybe a thriller or a horror, I could see it. If the nebulous they that is acting against the protagonist takes out the protagonist’s side-kick, it would make sense the plan is to then come after the protagonist. If he wasn’t republican, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a big reader of fiction. I would expect a man to be as deep into fictional novels as he is into couches. They make great places to read.
They want to normalize this. They want their supporters to encite violence through the means of weird, out of the ordinary violent behaviors.
And that is from someone that’s pro-gun. This is fucked up.
Also that wasn’t the first attempt, there have been at least two previous people who tried to kill him
-
2016 Las Vegas Attempt- On June 18, 2016, a man attempted to steal a police officer’s firearm and use it on Trump, during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada. 20-year-old Michael Steven Sandford, who was visiting the U.S. from the U.K., was immediately subdued by the officer, and was taken into custody by the Secret Service. Sandford later told officials that his plan had been to kill Trump, who was speaking at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.
-
2017 Forklift Incident- On September 6, 2017, Gregory Lee Leingang stole a forklift from a North Dakota oil refinery, with the intent of driving it into Trump’s presidential vehicle while he was en route to a rally. Leingang was stopped before reaching the motorcade after the vehicle got stuck in the refinery. Officials originally thought that Leingang had stolen the forklift for a much less serious reason, and only reevaluated the seriousness after he confessed to trying to kill the then-president by flipping the vehicle.
I’m from the UK and the first one interested me.
Steven Sandford was sentenced to one year for this, which is shockingly low (not that I’m pro punishment, I believe in a rehabilitation approach).
He was released and deported back home, in 2017, after 5 months in federal prison, but he had been in custody for 11 months in total; assuming whilst awaiting trial.
he confessed to trying to kill the then-president by flipping the vehicle.
well, it is a plan. not a good one, but still a plan.
Just think of how hilarious the timeline where he actually managed to flip the vehicle would have been. I’m not sure if it would have been funnier if he flipped the vehicle with Trump in it or some other vehicle in the motorcade.
That thing weighs 9 ton (20000 lb). I think it is more likely he would have flipped the forklift… Considering he is bulletproof, because otherwise I am pretty sure he would be dead long before that.
Yeah, such a scenario would have to involve a comedy of errors leading up to the attempted flip, which would add to the spectacle. Benny Hill playing in the background.
He had concepts of a plan.
All the botched Trump assassination attempts really remind me of the short story where the guy has to keep on going back in time to stop the other time travelers that are trying to kill Hitler because as bad as Hitler was, in this timeline, he was necessary.
Honestly, if trump is the necessary evil, I think I’d just rather we not. Like maybe the country needs a hard reset. It could be part punishment part cleansing.
Well he did already have a run at it. Maybe we are getting lucky and he might lose, go away, and just be a skidmark on history instead of a complete shit pants situation. I’m choosing to believe the time travelers who stopped the assassination attempts from succeeding are just making sure we have skid marks instead of shit pants.

I mean, anyone who knows gay people it’s JD Vance.
Every time I read this story, I keep thinking about those matter diagrams:
I didn’t know I was sparkly but I’m definitely charm and strange
A Queer Homodynamics chart? Dope!
I think I’m strange?
POWER QUEER. UNCOMFORTABLY GAY.
WHEN YOUR GOD MAKES YOU GAY YOU SASHAY AWAY.
Well, he’s probably trying to take back the word “gay” — meaning happy. Maybe to him it’s normal to be happy on your sofa?
I mean he’s a shitty dude, but he’s done wonders to increase public awareness of heterosectionals.
“in” your sofa.
