For Republicans at least, one of the biggest stories of this presidential election cycle is how Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) has risen to the occasion since GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump chose him to be his vice presidential running mate in July, with Vance and his plainspoken and to the point nature being the perfect complement to Trump’s exuberant, sometimes-flamboyant style of campaigning.
On Tuesday, Vance proved his campaign worth once again in the aftermath of President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” on a call designed to shore up the Latino vote ahead of Election Day. As we noted, Biden’s remarks effectively sabotaged the big “unity” speech Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris was giving in Washington, DC around the same time.

Vance, as we also reported, wasted no time in going off on Biden, tweeting, “This is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country. There’s no excuse for this. I hope Americans reject it.”
Later, though, Vance called out the Politico news outlet for their shameless attempt at trying to cover up what Biden actually said (the latter of which my colleague Teri Christoph documented here), putting them directly in the hot seat on the Twitter machine and demanding for once that they show a little integrity in their so-called reporting:
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” That’s a direct quote. That’s what Kamala Harris’s boss said. This is how Politico decided to report it:

Will the networks that obsessively covered a joke from a comedian at a Trump rally cover the fact that the Kamala Harris campaign is insulting half of the country? Will they even report honestly on this disgusting behavior from our present leadership?

As I write this, Lemire and Politico are still trying to play clean-up for Biden over what he said in what can only be described as yet another instance of them blatantly playing favorites so close to a presidential election. Not surprisingly, their tactics mirror the White House’s spin on Biden’s remarks, too.
The press and Democrats are desperate and as a result, they are pulling out all the stops at this point to do whatever it takes to push the Democrat presidential ticket over the finish line, just as they did with the “50+ former intelligence officials” story in October 2020 regarding the Hunter Biden laptop.
I cannot stress enough the importance of voters soundly rejecting this latest effort at media-driven election interference on November 5th. The MSM needs to be taught another valuable lesson on this front and the best way to do that is by demonstrating at the ballot box next week via your choice for president and vice president that their shamelessly manipulative tactics no longer work.
