JD Vance says Harris VP pick doesn't matter

J.D. Vance, Donald Trump's vice-presidential running mate, recently made some STUNNING comments not only about himself, but also about whomever Kamala Harris selects as her running mate as well:

Vice-presidential picks don't matter.

Wow, that's actually a pretty hot take from somebody who's literally the nominee to be America's next vice president.

Vance admitted that his truth doesn't necessarily help his own ego very much, but he feels like it's the truth.

"My attitude is, it doesn’t really matter, as much as this hits my ego," Vance said during a recent podcast interview.

"People are going to vote primarily for Donald Trump or for Kamala Harris. That’s the way these things go. I think my job over the next few months is to just drive home the message that Kamala Harris has been a bad vice president, and she’d be a worse president," he said.

Because of Vance's relatively rocky start on the campaign trial, some people are considering this an attempt to move attention away from himself and onto Donald Trump.

One of the biggest criticisms of Vance relates to a comment he once made calling some Democrats "childless cat ladies" and suggesting "that parents with biological children should have more political power and his characterization of pregnancies from rape and incest as 'inconvenient.'"

It's unfortunate that the best thing Vance might be able to do for himself right now is downplay his own importance, but that's the route he chose.

Vance brought up the old political concept that the vice president simply doesn't matter unless the man in charge goes down.

"Historically, the vice president, in terms of the election, does not have any impact," Trump recently said in comments very similar to Vance's. "I mean, virtually no impact … virtually never has it mattered."

As far as the "childless cat lady" comments, Vance is saying that was the result of sarcasm, but the substance of his statement is something by which he will stand.

"Obviously it was a sarcastic comment," the Republican from Ohio said recently on Megyn Kelly's podcast. "People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said … and the substance of what I said, Megyn, I’m sorry, it is true."
