I genuinely wonder what someone has to have experienced in their own life to reach a point where they’re comfortable putting this level of hatred out into the world. My own background isn’t all that different from Vice President Vance’s. I know firsthand that growing up in difficult circumstances can leave scars that follow you well into adulthood. But to take someone’s childhood trauma, the instability they endured, and the circumstances they had absolutely no control over, then deliberately weaponize those experiences against them? That’s a level of cruelty I struggle to comprehend. What makes this particularly reprehensible is that Vance’s story is one of overcoming those circumstances, not being defined by them. Jo took the most painful chapters of his childhood and turned them into ammunition for a vicious personal attack. And in doing so, she revealed far more about her own character than she ever could about his. This isn’t just hatred. It’s calculated cruelty directed at a child who had no control over the circumstances he was born into. It’s evil. There’s no sugarcoating it.
