Toxic lefty snowflakes are fuming over JD Vance’s comments about California’s Democrat Senator Alex Padilla.
Vice President JD Vance called Democrat Senator Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla” on Friday during a press conference in Los Angeles.
A reporter asked Vance about the media claiming Democrat lawmakers keep getting handcuffed by ICE.
Democrats such as Alex Padilla and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander were cuffed by ICE for good reason. Padilla rushed the podium during a Kristi Noem presser and Lander obstructed ICE agents.


Vance replied, “Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question but unfortunately he decided not to show up because there wasn’t a theater. And that’s all it was,” Vance said.

I think it’s safe to say that JD Vance gives zero f*cks.

Leftists accused Vance of racism.
Calling Senator Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla” isn’t some harmless gaffe it’s part of a broader pattern seen too often in Trump-aligned politics: subtle jabs that otherize, belittle, and play to the base’s worst instincts.

MAGATs love them some racism sprinkled with xenophobia.

Hey, VP Vance, it’s Senator Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla. Los Angeles doesn’t welcome your blind ignorance and racism. Don’t even bring it here.
