JD Vance Posts 30-Second TikTok Branding AOC 'Communist' and Trump 'Generous'

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 21

Summary

  • JD Vance used a 30-second TikTok captioned “Thoughts” to deliver one-word judgments on U.S. political figures, attacking several Democrats while praising President Donald Trump and top administration officials.
  • AOC was labeled “communist,” Jon Ossoff “lame,” Zohran Mamdani “crazy,” Chuck Schumer “cranky,” Abdul El-Sayed “odd,” and Adam Schiff “irrelevant” after Vance first said he meant “nothing” by him.
  • Trump got Vance’s warmest review as “generous,” while Karoline Leavitt was “awesome,” Stephen Miller “hardcore,” Susie Wiles “tough,” Marco Rubio “funny,” Mike Johnson “kind,” and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “interesting.”
  • One exception came when Democratic Socialists of America leader Megan Romer appeared and Vance said only “No comment,” before the clip inserted a SpongeBob-style “two minutes later” card.
  • The post had drawn more than 70,000 views and offered a lighter social-media showcase for Vance’s political contrasts, even as Fox News Digital sought comment from his office and the figures named.
