VP JD Vance Targets Marc Thiessen with Social Media Insults

Vice President JD Vance has used social media to launch a series of personal attacks, profanity-laced insults, and fat-shaming remarks directed at critics from across the political spectrum. In a recent exchange, Vance targeted conservative columnist Marc Thiessen, claiming Thiessen had "never missed a burrito" after the columnist criticized the vice president's handling of Iran policy.

While Vance previously attempted to limit his online presence, including a break during Lent, he has returned to direct engagement with journalists and opponents. Allies of the vice president argue that his communication style demonstrates authenticity and accessibility. Conversely, former administration officials and critics describe the behavior as childish and a departure from the traditional decorum expected of the vice presidency.
