Leftists Lose it After JD Vance Calls Democrat Senator Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla” (VIDEO)

Toxic lefty snowflakes are fuming over JD Vance’s comments about California’s Democrat Senator Alex Padilla.
Vice President JD Vance called Democrat Senator Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla” on Friday during a press conference in Los Angeles.
A reporter asked Vance about the media claiming Democrat lawmakers keep getting handcuffed by ICE.
Democrats such as Alex Padilla and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander were cuffed by ICE for good reason. Padilla rushed the podium during a Kristi Noem presser and Lander obstructed ICE agents.

Vance replied, “Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question but unfortunately he decided not to show up because there wasn’t a theater. And that’s all it was,” Vance said.

I think it's safe to say that JD Vance gives zero f*cks.

Leftists accused Vance of racism.
Calling Senator Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla” isn’t some harmless gaffe it’s part of a broader pattern seen too often in Trump-aligned politics: subtle jabs that otherize, belittle, and play to the base’s worst instincts.

Hey, VP Vance, it’s Senator Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla. Los Angeles doesn’t welcome your blind ignorance and racism. Don’t even bring it here.

Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,’ United Airlines said in a statement to The Daily Mail.
CBS News reported:
There is a ground stop for United Airlines flights at Chicago O’Hare Airport Wednesday evening.
United said in a statement that a “technology issue” is causing them to hold departures.

“I Defied My Government For Love” – State Department Official Dated Senior CCP Leader’s Daughter, Admits “She Could Have Been a Spy” – But Didn’t Report Her (VIDEO)

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of Daniel Choi, a US State Department Foreign Service Officer who admitted he dated a senior CCP leader’s daughter and refused to report her.
“I defied my government for love,” Daniel Choi said of his romantic relationship with 27-year-old Joi Zao.
Joi Zao entered the US on a work visa in September 2024.
“Her dad was either a provincial or a federal minister of education. So he’s, like, straight up Communist Party,” Choi said.
“Under federal regulations, Foreign Service Officers are required to report close and continuing contact with foreign nationals from adversarial nations, including China,” the O’Keefe Media Group reported.
Choi admitted he didn’t report her: “I was supposed to, whatever, sort of report what I knew about her, but I always thought that was kind of unfair.”
