Vice President JD Vance made some startlingly racist remarks Sunday during a speech at a conservative conference in Arizona.
The 41-year-old vice president spoke Turning Point USA conference, where the slain organization founder Charlie Kirk's widow Erika Kirk endorsed him for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, and made a number of controversial statements during his address.
Vance, according to journalist Aaron Rupar, drew the biggest applause of his speech when he claimed "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation."
"Wow: Overt, unapologetic Christian nationalism from the Vice President here," marveled Jack Jenkins, national correspondent for Religion News Service. "Even Trump has stopped short of saying something this explicit on the topic while President."
"Again, Vance smuggles in a false premise: That America was EVER a Christian nation," argued Bluesky user Dr. Tea, Cake, & Revolution. "He’s such a weasel."
"In the United States of America," Vance said, "you don't have to apologize for being white anymore."
That comment drew widespread criticism for its blatant racism.
"From dog whistles to bull horns, huh," said Bluesky user Nick Covington.
"Right out loud. I wonder if he recites that to his wife and kids every night at bedtime," agreed Bluesky user Mimi G.
"JD Vance is a self proclaimed f*cking racist," snarled widely followed Bluesky user PhillipUSA.
"I don’t think the mainstream news can possibly report on just how vile & dangerous this JD Vance diatribe is," said journalist Jennifer Schulze. "Some will gloss over the extremism, others will both sides it. So people need to watch the actual video to see/hear for themselves the white nationalist venom spewing from this monster."
"This tells you that Vance thinks the MAGA base isn’t just full of diehard racists; he thinks it’s full of diehard racists who are also too cowardly to be openly racist if they think people might disapprove," posted historian Kevin Kruse.
"Imagine looking in the mirror every day, seeing J.D. Vance looking back at you, and STILL being a white supremacist," sighed author Aram Sinnreich. "It must be cognitively exhausting."
"The vice president is a klansman," opined New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie.
"Worried that the base is upset about the child raping, JD Vance lures them back into the fold by reminding them that they are loved for their racism," replied retired math professor Scott Farrand.
"Jefferson Davis Vance," added Bluesky user William

Vice President JD Vance fired off at Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) Sunday while speaking at a conservative event in Arizona, ridiculing her for what he said was her “street-girl persona” and fake nails.
“Jasmine Crocket!” Vance said, speaking at Turning Point USA’s annual America Fest conference in Phoenix. “Oh, Jasmine Crockett, the record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails!”
Vance’s remarks were met with thunderous applause at the event venue packed wall-to-wall with young conservatives, an event organized by the right-wing advocacy group launched by his late friend, Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September in Utah.
Crockett has become a rising star in the Democratic Party, largely due to her frequent and fierce attacks on President Donald Trump, which has prompted him to respond by calling the congresswoman a “low-IQ person.” She has since launched a bid for Senate, looking to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) with a campaign launch ad featuring audio of Trump insulting her.
Among progressives, however, Crockett has drawn scrutiny largely over her voting record as it pertains to Israel, voting for an appropriations bill that included a temporary prohibition on U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNWRA), the largest aid provider in Gaza amid Israel’s military siege.
America Fest was first launched in 2021, and featured Trump, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois man who became a prominent figure among conservatives after fatally shooting two people during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the previous year.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) fired back at Vice President JD Vance's insult lobbed from the stage of a high-profile conservativhttps://www.rawstory.com/crockett-budget-bill/e conference.
The vice president slammed the Texas Democrat, who's mounting a U.S. Senate challenge for the seat held by Sen. Joh Cornyn (R-TX), from his wide-ranging and racially charged speech at Turning Point USA’s annual America Fest conference in Phoenix.
“Jasmine Crockett!” Vance exclaimed. “Oh, Jasmine Crockett, the record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails!”
Vance’s remarks were met with thunderous applause at the event aimed at young conservatives, but Crockett provided a substantially less positive reaction on social media.
"Imagine commenting on someone’s nails while at the same time ignoring that the only reason you got your political 'dream' job was because your boss incited a violent mob who wanted to hang your predecessor for, oh I don’t know, honoring his oath to the Constitution?!" Crockett posted on her X account. "How about you stop worrying about me, until we are on the Senate floor together & work to stop your boss from bankrupting our country while engaging in the largest corruption scheme we’ve ever seen?!"
