JD Vance and a Few Ironic Facts Destroy Walz's Desperate, Weird 'Yale' Attack


Nick Arama reporting for RedState 

The Democratic "weird" attack on JD Vance is truly a bizarre thing. 

Vance is the American Dream — someone born into poor and difficult circumstances who built himself up by the sheer dint of his talent and work, who served his country, went to Yale, wrote a famous book, became a U.S. senator, and is now running for the vice presidency. 

He's a hard candidate to attack. So, the desperate Democrats have tried to paint that American Dream as "weird" — while they promote free vasectomies and abortions at their convention. But that's not "weird." 

Meanwhile, Tim Walz is the Howard Dean scream in the flesh, spreading false stories about his military record, his rank, even IVF. That's beyond weird; it's just disqualifying because of how phony he is. 

During his DNC remarks on Wednesday night, Walz brought out another weird and false attempt to attack Vance for attending Yale to try to make him sound like he's "elite." He claimed he lived in a small town, and none of the kids in his class went to Yale. 

How bizarre is it for the party of elites, who trot out Oprah Winfrey and Hollywood types, to try to attack the Ivy League? Did he forget or just overlook all the Democrats on the bill at the DNC on the same night who went to the Ivy League, with some also going to Yale, most notably Bill Clinton, who spoke before him? 

Then, on the prior nights, there was Barack Obama, who went to Harvard and Columbia, and  Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Hillary Clinton, who both went to Yale Law School. 

My colleague Susie Moore ripped into this in her Thursday morning minute. 

CNN Republican pundit Scott Jennings called out this ridiculous line of attack, and Van Jones, who went to Yale, agreed it was wrong. 

Finally, JD Vance himself just finished off this stupidity, pointing out how sad Walz is for doing this. 

But they don't have anything to offer the American people except attacks, hate, and division.
