JD Vance in tears after Speaking to only Twelve Supporters in Kenosha, Wisconsin

(Just posting this to highlight that people are saying he cried at low attendance event. Please DU, don't report me to moderators as "posting anti Dem content')

https://thenewsglobe.net/?p=7063

The news of JD Vance being emotional after his address to only twelve supporters in Kenosha, Wisconsin highlights the challenges he may be facing in gaining traction and support for his campaign. This public display of emotion could humanize him to voters who may relate to his struggles in a political landscape that can be unforgiving and unpredictable.

It is crucial for Vance to assess his campaign strategy and messaging to resonate with a wider audience and garner more significant support. This moment could serve as a turning point for him to connect with voters on a deeper level and communicate his passion and commitment to the issues that matter to them. By being vulnerable and authentic, Vance may be able to build a stronger connection with the electorate and rally more support for his campaign moving forward

I looked the site over, read some of their other stories, and concluded it’s not a r-w site.

At this point I’m thinking inexperienced writer who chose an angle that’s not professional. Poor judgment.

Buy the Fascist Shithead a box of Kleenex and tell him to go fuck his fist. 175,000,000 American women are "crying" because of assholes just like you, misogynistic woman-hating Asshole! Just Dumb Vance well deserves all the venomous, rancorous animosity which comes his way!

... in a tense crisis situation of imminent peril to our National Security. I sort of prefer my Leaders as the type who can control their silly "emotions" and don't start "bawling like a baby" just because they don't receive the affection or the attention which they crave. This "wet behind the ears" piece of shit is utterly pathetic. It's damn difficult to imagine this crybaby Shithead being a "heartbeat" from the Presidency of the United States of America. This photograph is going to haunt his worthless ass for the rest of his shortlived and soon to be over political career.

Couldn't pick up any clear political orientation. They do seem more focused on people of color. There's no 'about us' page.

Perhaps some AI effort?

When there is a rally or speaking event for a presidential candidate the call goes out from the campaign to the local/county party and they start making phone calls like crazy to fill up the venue where the candidate will be appearing. Since only 12 people showed up I assume no calls were made and even the local party branch didn't participate. If this is any indication of what to expect on election day Trump is in big, big trouble.

https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/20/jd-vance-slams-democrats-on-crime-in-visit-to-kenosha/74856760007/

At Tuesday’s event, Vance spoke for about 25 minutes to a crowd of 100 supporters.

His remarks primarily highlighted Trump’s support of police and attacked Democratic leadership on crime during protests in the summer of 2020. He also reiterated campaign promises to end sanctuary cities and deport illegal immigrants.


Funny enough, there's a Reddit post that comes up with the number 12 when describing the crowd. But it's obviously tongue-in-cheek.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wisconsin/comments/1eydt7l/jd_vance_speaking_to_all_twelve_of_his_supporters/

Vance did claim he cried when his wife introduced him at the RNC, and that's clearly where the photo is from.

They want to publicize his bawling because his event bombed? LOL Bring it on!

He needs Kyle Shittenhouse with him next time. They'd get at least five more and they could cry on each other shoulders.
