Former President Donald Trump’s McDonald’s trip gave his running mate cause to flip the “weird” script on the vice president’s silence over a key point.

Like the alphabet activists that support them, leftist projections concerning the term “weird” have surfaced as their own strange behavior covered the spectrum from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s flailing arms to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s shameful sacramental Doritos.

Monday, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance honed in on a different kind of “weird” as Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim to have once worked at a McDonald’s continued to go unsubstantiated.

Joining “America’s Newsroom” with Fox News hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino, the Republican nominee for vice president reacted to Trump’s drive-thru debut and how the effort to expose alleged resumé lies from the Democratic Party candidate also exposed the “lack of curiosity” from corporate media.”

“I don’t know if there’s a campaign position on it,” began Vance with a laugh after Hemmer asked for his position on whether or not Harris had ever worked for the fast food giant, “…what we find weird about this is that Kamala Harris has been able to produce no evidence that she worked at McDonald’s, and she didn’t even talk about it until 2019 during, I believe, her first run for the United States Senate.”

“So I don’t know what’s ultimately true here, but it’s interesting where the media will try to nitpick and micromanage every single thing that me or Donald Trump has said,” he went on. “And yet they just buy into this narrative from Kamala Harris that she invented five, six years ago. Why don’t they just do some journalism? Maybe it’s true. Maybe it isn’t, but I know I don’t trust the media’s lack of curiosity about this issue when they’re so curious and nitpicking everything else that the Republican candidates do.”

In addition to ripping the media as much as Harris over falling short of clarity on what should have been a simple matter to fact-check, Vance also called out the coordinated effort to tear down Trump’s successful campaign stop at McDonald’s.

“The fact that these people are accusing him of a ‘stage-managed’ thing — of course, the president has to have security because there have been two attempts on his life in the last eight weeks. He can’t just walk into a McDonald’s and sign a W-9 and actually go on the payroll. That’s just now how this works, especially given the security threats on his life,” said the running mate.

“But look, he was interacting with people. He was talking to the employees. He was giving people food, and he was just being — I think what he does best — which is just being among the people, talking to them about what they care about,” continued the Ohio lawmaker. “He showed, I think, genuine interest in the employees and their lives and where they came from and what they were actually doing in their job, and that’s something you can’t stage, and you can’t fake.”

“That is just the genuine person that Donald Trump is, and it’s why I think a lot of working people, even though, of course, he’s a successful real estate billionaire, have this emotional connection to Donald Trump, you can’t make up that kind of connection,” he added.

Contrasting the president’s charisma with the orchestration from the vice president’s campaign, Vance asserted, “I think it’s why her campaign is flailing a little bit right now because she goes into Sheetz and does four takes of her buying Doritos. Donald Trump just goes to McDonald’s and he is who he is and people love him.”
