‘A vile human being’: Don Lemon calls out JD Vance, says he’s foregone his humanity for Trump

JD Vance should ditch politics and get into mining, because he’s an exciting talent in the field of finding new lows. We already knew the guy was a sociopath, but his chilling response to a reporter asking him if he should apologize to Alex Pretti’s family shocked even hardened MAGA observers.

Vance simply stared, smirked, raised an eyebrow, and quipped, “for what?” Oh I don’t know JD, how about your death squad of jumpy, moronic idiots filling an innocent nurse with lead for the crime of coming to a woman’s assistance? Maybe… that?

The reporter pointed out Vance had shared a post on X from Stephen Miller, insisting that Pretti was an “assassin” who “tried to murder federal agents”. As has since been proven, this was an outright and instinctive lie. Vance just shrugged and equivocated.

“Do you have to debase yourself that much?”

Now, Don Lemon, recently squarely in the Trump regime’s crosshairs, has weighed in and didn’t pull his punches. After dubbing Vance a “vile human being” for not being able to even give a qualified apology, Lemon said:

Don Lemon calls out JD Vance: “This is a vile human being. It’s not that hard, all he would have to say is I am sorry, no one should die that way. Why can’t you do that JD Vance? Do you have to kiss Donald Trump’s ring and his butt that much that you have to forgo your humanity?… pic.twitter.com/3ogxZAUU7h

“Why can’t you do that JD Vance? Do you think that you have to kiss Donald Trump’s ring and his butt that much that you have to forgo your humanity in order to suck up the president? In order to suck up to the base of the MAGA party. Do you have to debase yourself that much? It’s inhumane. It’s really just vile and disgusting. He talks about Christianity so much – Christians don’t behave that way. Not real Christians.”

What Vance’s insane reaction to the reporter’s question underlines is that far from him feeling guilty about Pretti’s death, he genuinely thinks it’s funny. After all, so far this is proof that MAGA can easily get away with executing an innocent citizen in the street – and not just anyone, a nurse who spent his career caring for injured veterans.

If they can survive the anger over Pretti’s murder, that gives them a license to kill far more people whenever they want. And, with that, the good times roll in for Vance. No wonder he smirked and refused to apologize, he now believes he’s untouchable and above the law. Why even bother to keep the mask of civility up when you can expose your rotten soul for the world to see?
