'Patriot': JD Vance Praises Trump Supporter Who Allegedly Called Election Worker A 'D**khead'
HuffPost
The Ohio senator's reaction arrives days after another person wearing pro-Trump merchandise was arrested for allegedly punching an elderly election worker.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Saturday praised a New Jersey woman for allegedly verbally attacking an election worker who asked for her to remove her Donald Trump gear just days after a Texas man in a MAGA hat reportedly punched an elderly man who made a similar request while working at a voting location.
“What a patriot,” wrote Trump’s vice presidential pick, who quoted a post about the story that’s since been deleted on X, formerly called Twitter.
The story stemmed from a Reddit user who took to r/Democrats, a forum on the social media website, to describe a woman wearing Trump gear at a polling site, prompting workers to tell her she couldn’t wear it (it’s illegal to wear political merchandise within 100 feet of a voting location in the Garden State).
“She calls one poll worker a d*ckhead and rips her shirt off. She told another poll worker to ‘suck her c**t’ and this is the reason she votes Trump,” wrote the Reddit user, who noted that a “no political merch” sign was posted at the site.
“Can we please defeat these people?”
