The Deputy Editor of the New York Times editorial board has posted a seething blog attacking J.D. Vance, the America First senator favored to become Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate by readers of The National Pulse.
David Firestone accuses Vance, a former editor of the Yale Law Journal, of being “unserious” and “callous” because he believes passing Congressional legislation to ban bump stocks would be “inhibiting the rights of law-abiding Americans” to address a “fake problem.”
“Presumably, [Vance] thinks there’s some kind of right to own a machine gun,” Firestone seethes, though the Supreme Court just ruled that semi-automatic firearms with bump stops are not, in fact, “machine guns.”
Firestone also rails against Vance‘s move to block the appointment of U.S. attorneys and judges by the Joe Biden regime in response to the Democratic lawfare campaign against Trump and his allies.
“These kinds of blockades are among the most juvenile and petulant tantrums an elected official can throw, putting Vance right there on the lowest level of the Senate alongside Tommy Tuberville of Alabama,” Firestone whines.
He concludes by saying “Trump might want to think twice before choosing someone even more preposterous than he is” as his running mate—although the fact the NYT editorial board is dead against Vance may only serve to confirm he would be an appropriate second-in-command to the America First leader.
