When Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde mentions LGBTQ children, JD Vance all but rolls his eyes and looks at his wife, who, wisely, ignores him.
This is an odd reaction from a man who struggled with wondering if he was gay a child. But Republicans aren't famous for their self-awareness or empathy.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

The entire MAGA Playbook is to provoke a reaction and then claim the victims or too sensitive (snowflakes) or it was a joke. Rather than be outraged, don’t take the bait and simply laugh in their faces for being the stupid little bullies that they are. They can’t lead. They can only oppose.
