When you are locked in a tight race for a Senate seat and ask your sorry excuse for a Party leader for an endorsement, the last thing you need is for him to fly into a rally ostensibly meant to promote you and talk instead about his numerous legal problems, compare you to the hated dictator of North Korea, and tell the small crowd assembled that you kiss his ass.
Such was the fate of the Republican J.D. Vance, running for the Senate in what many thought would be a safe Republican hold this year in red-trending Ohio.
“Former President Trump on Saturday said Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance is “in love” with him and “kissing my ass” for support, comparing the GOP candidate’s change of heart toward him to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
During a Saturday night rally for Vance in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump refuted a New York Times story that suggested some candidates — including Vance — were not inviting him to rallies over concerns about alienating swing voters…
…”Yeah, he said some bad things about me, but that was before he knew me and then he fell in love,” Trump said on Saturday. “Remember I said that about Kim Jong Un? He fell in love, and they said, ‘Oh, Trump is saying he fell in love.’ Actually he did, if you want to know the truth.”
Gee, thanks.
His Democratic opponent, in tonight’s debate, lost no time reminding Vance of that ringing endorsement:
