JD Vance Is Being Called A “Horrifyingly Repulsive Individual” After His Comment About US Allies Suffering From Gas Prices Went Viral
Recently, Vice President JD Vance has been on a speaking tour attempting to soothe Americans about the increasing cost of gas due to the US-Israel war with Iran.
Amid countless promises to address prices, Vance recently made a bizarre comment about how the United States’ allies are faring amid rising oil and gas prices.
“We actually worked with a lot of our allies all over the world, who are suffering from this, frankly, more than we are because unlike the United States, where we pursued an energy dominance agenda, you’ve got a lot of people all over the world who have focused on a lot of green energy scams, and they’re hurting a lot more than we are,” Vance said to a crowd in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
“As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy,” he reiterated.

“We recognize this is an issue. We are fighting against it, and we promise that when this conflict draws to a close, when this operation draws to a close, we’re gonna see those energy prices come back down to reality because that’s what the president promised to do.”
As you’d expect, people across the internet are appalled: “The state of America right now. They find comfort in other people suffering.”

Another person called Vance a “horrifyingly repulsive individual.”
“It’s like the US is determined to make the entire world hate them even more,” another person said.
And this person summed up Vance’s comments as “the right-wing ethos.”

Of course, this isn’t the first instance of Vance attempting to downplay gas prices backfiring in his face. Last week, he tried to blame Joe Biden, who, as you know, hasn’t been president since January of 2025.
