J.D. Vance’s backdrop makes it look like he’s campaigning for ‘Kamala’

J.D. Vance delivered a rally speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania with a backdrop that made it appear he was campaigning for his arch nemesis, Kamala Harris. 

The unfortunate signage appeared to stem from the event’s advance team not accounting for its crowd blocking half of a gigantic poster that sat directly behind Vance, which appeared to read in full, “KAMALA CHAOS.”

For those watching on Fox News and other broadcasts, however, the only words clearly visible—in white text on a blue background, in all caps—was simply “Kamala.” 

The apparent gaffe quickly went viral on X, where many joked that Harris’ VP choice in Tim Walz, which was announced just prior to Vance’s rally speech, had convinced Trump’s running mate to switch teams.

Why can't this man just leave those poor inanimate objects alone??

Omg when he was introduced to America my fist thought was "is this dude wearing makeup?".

Sounds like a dope thing to shout before unleashing your anime attack on someone.

I picture her yelling that out before twirling with her arms out and knocking over large traffic cones.

Should be her version of trump derangement syndrome. For all the crazy critiques leveled at her - they're just exhibiting symptoms of kamala chaos

TDS was always projection from the right. They claimed their opposition was deranged for paying attention while the actual deranged people were frothily defending him against every applicable accusation.

I like it, they need to do ads with the monster truck rally voice.

"KAMALA CHAOS! RRRRRRALLY ON MONDAY!

MONDAY!

Shouldn't alienate moderate Republicans or they will vote for Trump.

Dark Brandon X Kamala Chaos

It’s such a weak attempt at an attack

Not as weak as when Trump called her "Lyin' Kamala" and felt obliged to spell out "Lyin'" (including the apostrophe) so that his kultists would get it. I guess he was worried they'd think he was saying "Lion Kamala".

I want some Kamala chaos tbh. Let's shake some shit up and see what happens, I'd bet it's better than we've had.

The VP debate is gonna be great fun - that is, if Vance can manage to pull himself away from his couch.

But this can also be a teaching moment. In the event that Vance needs some reference material on how one is intended to use a couch, the following may prove useful:

You know there's few when they have to call everyone up around the speaker.

Yeah, where is all the talk about rally sizes from the right? Awful quiet.

Remember how they were just so sure that little-t was going to win, because....rabid little-t fans were....more enthusiastic and Biden was...campaigning from his basement or whatever? It's still one person, one vote, not like some kind of applause-o-meter is counting the votes...

These same people of course pointed at barking seals at little-t's Nuremberg Rallies, oops, I mean, riling up the rubes in flyover country as some kind of evidence that the election was "stolen".

I mean, at this point he kind of is, whether he wants to or not. 🛋️

You need to censor that, such an indecent thing to show. At least mark it NSWF

Kamala Chaos sounds like a badass wrestling tag team of Ms Marvel and Captain Chaos from Cannonball Run 😁

But it's on target based on the severe chaos of the Biden/Harris administration compared to the smooth, quiet efficiency of the Trump/Pence administration. (Do I need a /s?)

How many cabinet members did Trump churn through?

My favorite was him appointed Wilbur Ross to secretary of commerce. The same Wilbur Ross that bailed out Dementia Don when he famously bankrupted a casino DURING THE CASINO BOOM. If you didn't know, Wilbur is a coal baron.

I get great entertainment from reading/trolling right wing conspiracy boards. I would point out frequently that Wilbur Ross worked for the Rothschilds, their one world government enemies for years, the ones responsible for 9-11, the ultimate Illuminati Powers That Be, according to Alex Jones and his ilk. By their own rationale, Trump must be a Rothschild pawn.

They are fine with that now, I guess.

I've concluded that they can't be free thinkers. They just do what their told by fox "news". When you show them facts that contradict what they want to hear, they shut down and start talking about some dudes laptop or someones emails. It's sad and silly.

“Kamala”, a wrestler from the 80s and 90s, had Harris as his last name.

I love how conservatives go out of their way to play identity politics by ensuring there's a token representation of their opponents in the background of every picture. Like, "look one of you is supporting us! So should you!"

Ah, Republican strategic planning and forethought on display! I wonder how well they would run a country.....oh wait.

Weird morons.

You want to stay on top. Under the cushions is nothing but loose change, pet hair, and lint.

Guess we live in some alternate dimension of IASIP where Trump paid the trolls toll..

Easy mistake to make. The audiences for Vance's speeches are usually seated and asleep a few minutes in.

And they’re all provided with little portable couches to take home

I don't think I'd be campaigning for Trump with the word "Chaos"...that is really something that calls back to Trump tweeting nuclear threats against North Korea, hiring Mike Pompeo and firing Rex Tillerson in one tweet publicly before informing them, the Covid mishandling ("re-open by Easter 2020")...on policy folks might just disagree but it's standard politics. The Chaos of the Trump presidency was uniquely of his own making.

Yeah but they cannot write the word they and their voters want to use so it is hard to come up with alternatives.

I want to call this accidental subversion, but I feel like that's still ascribing far too much credit to Vance. There was never an ounce of thought about it, it was probably a phrase he saw on twitter a few days before and ordered it for the press conference without even the notion of a thought to how it would appear on tv. Subversion, even accidental, requires some kind of consideration. There was none. If the amount of thought he put into this were an ecosystem, it would be a barren wasteland.

"Kamala Chaos" was what they were calling it when the Stock Market shit the bed, but had to walk back when the market took back most of the loss the next day (as the market tends to do)

Legit… the idea that he’d ever be caught on camera standing in front of a sign that had anyone else’s name besides his own or his running mate’s is just brain dead branding.

Pretty sure JD isn't a fan of Plan B. He wavers, at best:

“There is something sociopathic about a political movement that tells young women (and men) that it is liberating to murder their own children,” he wrote.

That's not "wavering." He's 100% on board with Handmaid's Tale -- excuse me, "Project 2025."

“I genuinely feel bad that for days—maybe even weeks—the guy actually had to run away from his Jewish heritage,” Vance said. “I think that’s scandalous and disgraceful.”

this is re Josh Shapiro not himself.
