YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“I think it’s funny,” Vice President JD Vance said when asked about President Donald Trump sharing AI-generated memes of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., including one that falsely depicted Jeffries with a curly mustache and a sombrero.

Vance then turned to Jeffries directly, saying: “I make the solemn promise to you that if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.”
