JD Vance Ridiculed For Defending Confederate Soldiers. Again Called 'Weird'
"You have to think that every single person who fought for the Confederate side was an evil person," Vance said. "I just think that's so stupid."
Thank you Mr. Vance for standing up for your roots. This is mostly a hack-job article defending his propagandist critics… - DD
Vice President JD Vance defended Confederate soldiers in a recent podcast appearance, a move social media users called a "weird hill to die on."
During an appearance on This Past Weekend with comedian Theo Von, Vance brought up the Civil War, claiming he had family members who fought on both sides.
"I feel like something happened like 10 years ago where, it's like, you have to think that every single person that who fought for the Confederate side was an evil person," Vance said. "I just think that's so stupid."
Online, the comment drew criticism for what many saw as historical revisionism and downplaying the Confederacy's defense of slavery.
"Defending the Confederacy... Is certainly a take from the Vice President..." an X user wrote above an image reading, "Weird hill to die on."
Critics pointed out that…
THANK YOU,
MR. VANCIT IS SUCH A BASIC POINT.
WHY DO SO MANY FAIL TO EMBRACE IT???
uh, the Dems are defending Hamas and Iran - gtfo
