"JD Vance thinks praising Hitler and talking about putting political enemies
into death chambers is harmless “kids being kids,” but criticizing Charlie Kirk
is somehow deserving of state-supported punishment.

It sure looks like he’s got quite the double standard.

Yesterday, Vance defended Young Republican leaders who were caught in leaked
chat logs making racist, antisemitic, and pro-Nazi comments, dismissing their
behavior as harmless kids being edgy. But just a month ago, this very same JD
Vance was calling for people to be reported to their employers for making far
milder comments about Charlie Kirk’s death. And this week, his administration
revoked visas from foreigners who criticized Kirk online."
