JD Vance shrugged off Taylor Swift as “essentially disconnected from the issues of most Individuals” after the pop celebrity endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president.
“We admire Taylor Swift’s music, however I don’t suppose most Individuals, whether or not they like her music, are followers of her or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celeb who I feel is essentially disconnected from the pursuits and the issues of most Individuals,” Vance mentioned Wednesday on “The Story.”
TAYLOR SWIFT ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT AFTER DEBATE: ‘I’VE MADE MY CHOICE’
“When grocery costs go up 20%, it hurts most Individuals, it would not damage Taylor Swift. When housing costs turn into unaffordable, it would not have an effect on Taylor Swift or every other billionaire,” Vance continued. “It does have an effect on middle-class Individuals throughout our nation.”
Swift endorsed Harris minutes after she and former President Trump wrapped up their first presidential debate on Tuesday night time.
“The Story” anchor Martha MacCallum famous that Swift took a jab at Vance in her announcement, signing off as “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Girl.” The chorus, which has gone viral in current weeks, referenced a remark made by Vance in 2021 when he declared that the U.S. was successfully being run “by a bunch of childless cat girls who’re depressing at their very own lives and the alternatives that they’ve made, and they also wanna make the remainder of the nation depressing, too.” He has since defended the comment as a “joke” that was “willfully misinterpreted” by Democrats.
Swift, who posted an image of herself cradling her cat above her endorsement on Instagram, mentioned she will likely be voting for Harris as a result of “she fights for the rights and causes I consider want a warrior to champion them.”
Vance mentioned he believes the Trump marketing campaign has a extra compelling and relatable message for feminine voters, highlighting the GOP pledge to restore public security nationally.
“I feel our pitch to girls voters may be very easy. Donald Trump delivered insurance policies that lowered the costs of groceries, lowered the costs of housing and most significantly, Donald Trump delivered public security in our nation.”
He continued, “I’ve acquired three little children, I need my children to develop up in a rustic the place the neighborhoods are protected sufficient, the streets are protected sufficient for them to not make errors and never have it take their lives. 20 years in the past, [if] you smoke a joint you bought yelled at by your mother and father. Immediately you smoke a joint, it’s laced with fentanyl and may take an adolescent’s life.
“I don’t need that for my household, I don’t suppose most ladies need that for his or her neighborhoods and their households and our argument is elect Donald Trump. We are going to redeliver the general public security that has been so missing on this nation the previous few years.”
Earlier Wednesday, Trump seemed to be unbothered by Swift’s endorsement of Harris, remarking in a “Fox & Buddies” interview that he anticipated her to endorse the Democratic nominee.
“It was only a query of time. She could not […] probably endorse Biden. You take a look at Biden, you could not probably endorse him,” Trump mentioned, clarifying that he’s “not a Taylor Swift fan.”
“She’s a really liberal individual. She appears to all the time endorse a Democrat,” he added. “And she or he’ll in all probability pay a value for it […] within the market.”
