Vice President JD Vance is proving that the only way to beat the left’s rage-bait tactics is to lean into it.
Days after being lambasted for calling Senator Alex Padilla “Jose,” Vance took to the social media site Bluesky to troll the left over President Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear site.

Predictably, the comments ranged from outraged to amused as libs lost their minds over the VP’s presence in their sacred space:

X users, on the other hand, had no problem laughing along with Vance:
JD is in the Trump social media training program.

As BizPac Review previously reported, the left became all shades of angry over Vance appearing to mix up Alex Padilla and Jose Padilla, a man who has been convicted on terrorism charges:
After being asked about the California senator’s treatment during a Homeland Security press conference earlier in the month, Vance called the act “pure political theater.”
“Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question. But unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater,” he said. The slip up, in which he referred to Padilla as “Jose” did not get by the left.
“JD Vance served with Alex Padilla in the United States Senate. Calling him “Jose Padilla” is not an accident,” California Governor Gavin Newsom huffed.
“Let’s set the record straight on J.D. Vance’s press conference in Los Angeles: Vice President Vance just stood at a podium and lied — again,” California Democrat Rep. Nanette Barragan wrote.
“He claimed the situation in LA was out of control, forcing Trump to send in the National Guard. In reality, local law enforcement had things under control – Trump escalated the situation when he deployed federal troops. He said ICE is prioritizing their limited resources on going after criminals. In fact, arrests of immigrants with no criminal convictions are up over 800% since January. He accused Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass of ‘endangering officers’ lives.’ What they’ve actually done is stand up for accountability, transparency, and the safety of all Californians.,” she continued. “And then — to top it all off — he referred to Senator Alex Padilla as ‘Jose Padilla.’ They served in the same chamber. He knows his name. This wasn’t a slip — it was disrespectful. This isn’t about law and order. It’s about fear, division, and deflection.”
It appears that Vance isn’t going to let the party of perpetual outrage win this battle of wits.
