That’s what all of us call him on the playground.

Seriously though, is Vance letting his kids write speeches for him now?

      Certainly an L timeline.

      ​“And because we need somebody who will actually fight back against the ‘fart left,’ we need Michael Whatley in the United States Senate,” Vance said on Monday to applause. ​“Now, you may not have even heard that, but I actually - I usually don’t misspeak - but I just called them the ‘fart left,’ not the ‘far left,’” Vance continued.

      The vice president’s remark drew some laughs from the crowd, with Vance going on to preemptively dismiss any suggestion he deliberately used the term.

      ​“I promise that was an accident,” he said. “So to the fake news, who will accuse me of bad language, I promise I did not mean to call them the ‘fart left.’ I meant to call them the ‘far left.’”

          Probably testing his audience. If the applause was louder he would have owned it and claimed it intentional. This is the same logic as “its just a prank bro”.

            Well, I guess to be fair I would assume that magafolk would have eaten that up and gone for it too. Maybe the Cushion King does understand them better than me

          Its cringe either way because we know he purposely said it, then lied and played it off like it was an accident, then spun it into some kind of attack on the “fake news”

          Vance should change his name (again for like the 4th time) from JD to JC (Just Cringe) because thats all Vance is capable of.

            Yeah, definitely still cringe. In my dreams they go all in on that slogan and Joe Rogan has to say how genius it is with a straight face
