Vance defends his and Trump's use of memes to attack Harris

In a tense interview with CNN, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) defended his and former President Donald Trump’s use of jokes and memes.

As part of a series of 30 reposts of memes over about a half-hour period on Wednesday on Trump’s Truth Social account, the former president reposted a crude sexual joke about Vice President Kamala Harris, referencing her relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. During an interview on CNN News Central with John Berman, Vance was questioned about the post, after criticizing Harris for not lifting “this country up” and previously calling for Trump to be banned from social media
