That word was not an accident. Because he used it more than once to hammer it in:

“I frankly just think it’s hysterical how much the media is overreacting to it,” Vance said while traveling to a campaign rally in Arizona.

“So what he said, I thought it was hysterical. I think he pointed out the fundamental chameleon-like nature of Kamala Harris,” Vance said. “She’s flip flopped on every issue. She’s fake. She’s phony. And I think our whole campaign is going to have a very fun time pointing that out. And it sounds like the president kicked us off in stride.”

The Appalachian hillbilly from suburban Ohio knows what that word means. He went to Yale.

    Did I say that? No, I said a degree didn’t imply competence or intelligence.

    Neat, totally irrelevant to my point but neat I guess.

    I don’t have to pretend he’s an idiot, he is. He’s just an idiot that can pass tests.

      Underestimate your opponents at your own peril.

        He’s not my enemy, he’s a pundit and a real fuckin goofy one at that. Similarly being an idiot doesn’t mean I’m not taking them seriously, many many idiots have effected history in negative ways they are and were still in fact idiots though.

          Well, he’s a fascist, so he fucking should be. Says a lot about you that you don’t see him as a threat.

            Sure he’s a fascist, he needs to be stopped so he’s my opponent. He isn’t my enemy, enemies are moved against in certain ways, opponents entirely separate ways.
