J.D. Vance delivered a rally speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania with a backdrop that made it appear he was campaigning for his arch nemesis, Kamala Harris.

The unfortunate signage appeared to stem from the event’s advance team not accounting for its crowd blocking half of a gigantic poster that sat directly behind Vance, which appeared to read in full, “KAMALA CHAOS.”

For those watching on Fox News and other broadcasts, however, the only words clearly visible—in white text on a blue background, in all caps—was simply “Kamala.”

The apparent gaffe quickly went viral on X, where many joked that Harris’ VP choice in Tim Walz, which was announced just prior to Vance’s rally speech, had convinced Trump’s running mate to switch teams.

    “KAMALA CHAOS” is actually pretty cool sounding. She should steal that and find a fun positive spin for it.

    It’s such a weak attempt at an attack, rubbing it in their faces that they have nothing real they can use against her seems smart.

        Shouldn’t alienate moderate Republicans or they will vote for Trump.

      Dark Brandon X Kamala Chaos

      It’s such a weak attempt at an attack

      Not as weak as when Trump called her “Lyin’ Kamala” and felt obliged to spell out “Lyin’” (including the apostrophe) so that his kultists would get it. I guess he was worried they’d think he was saying “Lion Kamala”.

        Imagine an animated campaign commercial with a bunch of panicking ragdoll caricatures of Republican ghouls descending into hellfire as a gigantic Kamala Harris rises up in the background taking over the White House, and the words “KAMALA CHAOS” appears on the screen in exactly the same typeface as what’s behind J.D. Vance.

        Paid for by the Harris Victory Fund.

        Democrats still aren’t brave enough to do this.

    The VP debate is gonna be great fun - that is, if Vance can manage to pull himself away from his couch.

    But this can also be a teaching moment. In the event that Vance needs some reference material on how one is intended to use a couch, the following may prove useful:

        Remember how they were just so sure that little-t was going to win, because…rabid little-t fans were…more enthusiastic and Biden was…campaigning from his basement or whatever? It’s still one person, one vote, not like some kind of applause-o-meter is counting the votes…

        These same people of course pointed at barking seals at little-t’s Nuremberg Rallies, oops, I mean, riling up the rubes in flyover country as some kind of evidence that the election was “stolen”.

    makes it look like he’s campaigning for ‘Kamala’

    I mean, at this point he kind of is, whether he wants to or not. 🛋️

      But it’s on target based on the severe chaos of the Biden/Harris administration compared to the smooth, quiet efficiency of the Trump/Pence administration. (Do I need a /s?)

      How many cabinet members did Trump churn through?

        My favorite was him appointed Wilbur Ross to secretary of commerce. The same Wilbur Ross that bailed out Dementia Don when he famously bankrupted a casino DURING THE CASINO BOOM. If you didn’t know, Wilbur is a coal baron.

          I get great entertainment from reading/trolling right wing conspiracy boards. I would point out frequently that Wilbur Ross worked for the Rothschilds, their one world government enemies for years, the ones responsible for 9-11, the ultimate Illuminati Powers That Be, according to Alex Jones and his ilk. By their own rationale, Trump must be a Rothschild pawn.

          They are fine with that now, I guess.

            I’ve concluded that they can’t be free thinkers. They just do what their told by fox “news”. When you show them facts that contradict what they want to hear, they shut down and start talking about some dudes laptop or someones emails. It’s sad and silly.

    I love how conservatives go out of their way to play identity politics by ensuring there’s a token representation of their opponents in the background of every picture. Like, “look one of you is supporting us! So should you!”

    Easy mistake to make. The audiences for Vance’s speeches are usually seated and asleep a few minutes in.
