In the ongoing saga of a Chinese spy balloon trolling over America, J.D. Vance tweeted out a humorous photo of himself, looking skyward, as if waiting to shoot down the balloon. Not one for humor apparently, Mehdi Hasan took the joke quite seriously and attempted to exploit the ‘rubes’ he claimed Vance was exploiting.
Yes, this is how many on the Left view those of you who live out there in flyover. You’re going to see the new Senator from Ohio next to his firewood pile with his AR-15 and be a hoopin’ and a hollerin’ for him to shoot that dad-blasted commie inflatable out of the sky. Nah. That’s actually Joe Biden’s job, which he seems unwilling, or unable, to do.
If anyone understands you can’t shoot down a balloon at 60,000 feet with an AR-15, it’s the people Mehdi Hasan is pretending to stand up for.
We folks out in the hollers who live next to cow pastures even understand jokes, Mehdi. Well, glory be!
Twitter saw through his attempt to exploit the ‘rubes’.
We’re actually quite fond of humor out here in the sticks. We’re glad Mehdi has now been exposed. Perhaps it will help.
The ‘rubes’ are a characterization of much of red America many leftists have created in their own minds. They just want to ‘save them from voting against their own interests’.
No thanks, how about you just leave us alone?
At least MSNBC is competing for something, right?
We have to admit, MSNBC is hilarious, just in a different kind of way.
Exactly. Well, except maybe for some of those parody accounts pretending to be liberals. Those are getting hard to figure out. LOL.
Disclaimer: The above picture is not actually Mehdi Hasan with the word ‘JOKE’ flying over his head. It is an artist’s rendition illustrating that Mehdi didn’t understand that J.D. Vance was making a joke.
We just wanted to clear that up for any of you rubes out there who might have thought this was a real photo of Mehdi.
In our best ringside Michael Buffer voice: ‘Mehdi the Rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuube Hasaaaaaa-aaaaan!’
We like it.
We admire how polite this guy is, and on Twitter no less! LOL.
Mehdi Hasan’s fans didn’t get it either. Cringe.
Yes, the former Marine understands the range of his weapon.
Heavens to Betsy! They’s gonna git some’un kilt with all the fallin’ lead and stuff if they hauls off and starts a shootin’ at that thar balloon!
Yes, we’ve got this, Mehdi. It’s going to be fine.
It’s definitely more fun over here. Come on, fence riders, you know you want to come on over!
We also know that’s a nice pile of firewood.
They probably should stick to Tide Pods.
