J.D. Vance delivered a rally speech Tuesday inĀ 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 eventās advance team not accounting for its crowd blocking half of a gigantic poster that sat directly behind Vance, which appeared to read in full, āKAMALA CHAOS.ā
For those watching on Fox News and other broadcasts, however, the only words clearly visibleāin white text on a blue background, in all capsāwas simply āKamala.ā
The apparent gaffe quickly went viral on X, where many joked that Harrisā VP choice in Tim Walz, which was announced just prior to Vanceās rally speech, had convinced Trumpās running mate to switch teams.
I want to call this accidental subversion, but I feel like thatās still ascribing far too much credit to Vance. There was never an ounce of thought about it, it was probably a phrase he saw on twitter a few days before and ordered it for the press conference without even the notion of a thought to how it would appear on tv. Subversion, even accidental, requires some kind of consideration. There was none. If the amount of thought he put into this were an ecosystem, it would be a barren wasteland.
āKamala Chaosā was what they were calling it when the Stock Market shit the bed, but had to walk back when the market took back most of the loss the next day (as the market tends to do)
Legitā¦ the idea that heād ever be caught on camera standing in front of a sign that had anyone elseās name besides his own or his running mateās is just brain dead branding.
They are sending their best. And itās a sad time. The sadliest.
