Trump’s running mate and vice-presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, fired back at Vice President Kamala Harris using her own rhetoric while speaking at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, August 3, saying that the tactics of her campaign, such as calling him weird, are “pretty weird.” The audience loved it.

Harris, as background, has labeled Trump and Vance weird, saying at a recent rally in Massachusetts, for example, “You may have noticed Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record. And some of what he and his running mate are saying, it’s just plain weird. I mean, that’s the box you put that in, right?

Using her own campaign’s “weird” rhetoric against itself, Sen. Vance roasted her over a recent rally she did at the same venue in Atlanta. Particularly, he brought up how she seemingly tried to use a southern accent while speaking at Georgia State University, despite being of Jamaican and Indian heritage and growing up in Canada and Wisconsin.

Sen. Vance, roasting her over that weird attempt to fit in by using another regions’ accent, “I think it’s especially weird when Kamala Harris comes to Atlanta, I believe came here to this… arena. Kamala Harris comes to Atlanta and talks with a fake Southern accent, even though she grew up in Canada, you can’t make it up, that’s pretty weird.”

Continuing, Sen. Vance said, referring to the time Kamala Harris spent in Montreal while growing up and thus how weird it was that she was trying to sound like a southerner, “Go watch the clip, she sounded like a Southern belle. Even though she grew up in Vancouver, doesn’t make any sense.”

He wasn’t done with attacking her and left generally on the “weird” line she and her campaign have used against him. He said, “Let’s talk about some things that are weird. We think it’s weird that Democrats wanna put sexually explicit books in toddlers’ libraries. We think it’s weird that the far left wants to allow biological males to beat the livin’ crap outta women in boxing.”

He also spoke about VP Harris’s time as a prosecutor in California, arguing that she was far too soft on crime in that role and thus that she can’t be trusted as president. He said, “We think it’s weird for a presidential candidate to bail convicted rapists and murderers out of prison, and that’s what Kamala Harris did.”

The “weird” line has been used against Sen. Vance and the GOP generally by other Democrats as well. For example, former DNC national finance director Clayton Cox said, “I think it puts a finger on something that Democrats have had a hard time to articulate, which is that these guys who want to be in the OB’s room, they want to be in your bedroom, they want to make all these decisions in your life — it’s weird. It’s hard to put a finger on how to say it, but I think ‘weird’ is the best we’ve got. I think it’s very potent and effective.”
