Throughout the crowded Republican primary for an Ohio seat in the U.S. Senate, author and venture capitalist J.D. Vance has scrambled to be the rightmost candidate.

He's said professors are "the enemy." He defended far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson's promotion of the white supremacist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory. He's said Americans should "promote" the "virtues" of Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot three people during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year, killing two of them.


And, of course, he's worked tirelessly to embrace former President Donald Trump, considered the kingmaker of the GOP.

But an anti-Vance Republican group, the Club for Growth, is running ads targeting Vance's past statements regarding Trump, calling him an "idiot" and "noxious," while presenting himself as a "never Trump guy."

In one moment of the ad, Vance says:

"As somebody who doesn't like Trump, I may have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton."

While Vance certainly doesn't welcome the ads, another prominent Republican hates them as well: Donald Trump.

According to Politico, Trump called Club for Growth president David McIntosh last month to decry the ads, saying he feared they would hurt his popularity in Ohio, rather than Vance's.

Though McIntosh vowed to explore the possibility of removing the ads, the club invested another half million dollars as recently as Wednesday to keep the ads running.

The mockery was swift.







Some just had to laugh.



This past summer, Vance apologized for criticizing Trump, saying he regretted "being wrong about the guy."

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
