Trump aide attacks 'weirdness' of Harris' V.P. pick — and it backfires
A senior adviser to Donald Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for not "thinking through" her running mate options and was immediately taunted about Sen. J.D. Vance.
Jason Miller leapt on the Democrats' new favorite word when he posted his claim, laced with typical Trump team profanity, on X Wednesday morning.
"Holy s---," Miller wrote. "Just received a briefing on the 'weirdness' of Kamala’s VP pick. They clearly have not thought this through."
Miller's comment arrives as Trump's own running mate faces mounting controversies linked to his repeated claims that childless Americans are sociopaths and virtual smear campaigns about sofas and dolphins.

Several followers were quick to point this out.
"Apparently they think she picked JD Vance too," wrote Jason Paris.
"Says the guys who chose JD Couch Vance," wrote X user Blue Finn.
"But Trump thought through the couch h------ JD Vance…" wrote X user John.
The source of the rumor has since admitted he was inspired not by fact, but by Hunter S. Thompson and the desire to make Vance deny it.
Other readers reveled in the reported panic among team Trump as they try to redirect their colossal campaign against President Joe Biden toward Harris and her successful "weirdness" attacks.
"Spoken like someone whose job hangs on every poll right now," wrote Ron Filipkowski.
"Once again they are guilty of what they accuse," wrote Jeff McCutcheon.
"No worries," wrote Art Vandelay. "If all else fails, I am sure Jason can go back to his amazingly successful social media platform, GETTR."
"Who is giving Jason Miller 'briefings?'” X user Sir Garrett Moore wanted to know.
