I can’t believe JD Vance once tagged this woman “weak and lazy because she looks after her own mental health. See more of what he said…

JD Vance Statement.,

 

 

An old interview clip featuring JD Vance has resurfaced shortly after Simone Biles made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics, in which the potential vice president criticized the media’s response towards her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics.

On Tuesday, July 31, the 27-year-old athlete became the most decorated gymnast in American history after the women’s US gymnastics team scored gold during the all-around finals. The victory marked a comeback for Biles, who withdrew from the last summer Olympics in 2021 due to her mental health.

Following her withdrawal from the competition, Vance appeared on Fox News’ Outnumbered in July 2021, where he called out the media for supporting Biles during her “weakest moment.”

It’s understandable that she was going through an incredible amount of pressure,” the Ohio senator said at the time. “What I find so weird about this – and it reflects on the media more than it does on Simone Biles – is that we’ve tried to turn a very tragic moment, Simone Biles quitting the Olympic team, into this act of heroism.

“And I think it reflects pretty poorly on our sort of therapeutic society that we try to praise people not for moments of strength, not for moments of heroism, but for their weakest moments.”

 

JD Vance Statement,

Vance continued: “Being an athlete at that level is incredibly tough. A normal response in this moment would be to say: ‘It’s just a shame that she’s going through this. It’s a shame that she quit.’ But instead, what our press has done, I think, is turn this into this weird therapeutic moment. ‘Let’s praise her for doing this.’ And I think that’s really where the problem herein lies.”

In 2021, Biles pulled out of the women’s all-around gymnastics competition to focus on her mental health, after suffering from a condition known as the “twisties”. The phenomenon, typically experienced by gymnasts, involves losing control mid-air and feeling unable to land the move, creating a high-risk and dangerous situation. Biles has previously described the twisties as being “lost in the air,” likening the uncomfortable experience to being unable to drive while at the wheel in a car.

However, that all went away during Tuesday’s all-around team final, when Biles scored her eighth Olympic medal – becoming the most decorated gymnast in the US and the fifth-most decorated female Olympic gymnast in the world.

This isn’t the first time that past comments made by Vance have resurfaced since he was selected as former president Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election. The 39-year-old Republican politician sparked outrage after he described vice president Kamala Harris as a “childless cat lady” during a 2021 interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The Hillbilly Elegy author claimed that the US was governed by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”

Look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Vance said. “How does it make any sense we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”

Despite being selected as Trump’s running mate, another old video interview showed Vance admitting that there were “definitely some people” who voted for Trump in 2016 “for racist reasons”. Meanwhile, resurfaced emails recently revealed that Vance once privately considered Trump a “demagogue,” a “disaster,” and a “morally reprehensible human being.”
