JD Vance Uses 1 Derogatory Word To Describe China, And People Are Disgusted

One social media user felt the loaded word that the vice president used was indicative of, “Racism, imperialism, arrogance and ignorance.”

It seems that Vice President JD Vance has forgotten all about his tumultuous childhood in Appalachia that was riddled with poverty, hardships and curious stains on his family’s couch — but social media users did not.

Last week, Vance went on “Fox & Friends” to defend President Donald Trump’s seemingly nonsensical but globally devastating tariffs. During Vance’s word salad of an argument, he made the claim that if Americans are forced to be less dependent on global imports, it’ll prompt a revival of American manufacturing. Vance then attempted to stress America’s need for self-sufficiency by using a pretty loaded word to describe a nation the U.S. is currently indebted to, and provides Americans with a good portion of its imported goods.

“We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture,” Vance told the Fox News show.

When clips of Vance’s “peasants” remark made its way on to X, formerly Twitter, some users were stunned by Vance’s hypocrisy due to his upbringing.

“Hey, You forget where you come from …Now you’re a noble new American aristocrat? Or have you always been a hypocrite 👑?” a user said.
