We are in the home stretch of the midterm elections, and that means candidates are pulling out all the stops — particularly in close elections like the Ohio Senate race. For Republican candidate — and Yale Law School’s permanent black eye — J.D. Vance, that means a wild visit to the Tucker Carlson where he mashed together right-wing buzzwords to craft a nonsensical attack on his opponent Tim Ryan.

Don’t believe me? Watch for yourself.

Yes, he appears to have conflated Ryan’s support of immigration reform and support for gender affirming care for those relying on state medical care. As Kat Abu of Media Matters For America coined it — it’s “mad libs for bigots.” But that wasn’t the only person ridiculing the appearance.

Though some see a tactical motivation behind the appearance, despite Vance’s slim lead in the polls.

We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see what voters really think of this nonsense.
