Donald Trump showed up to a rally in a garbage truck wearing an orange safety vest and took questions from the press – and somehow the night managed to get even more insane than that when he took the podium and insisted on being a protector for women “whether the women [in question] like it or not.” It was about as creepy and vile as the guy who bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade could get – and it hit right when he’s still experiencing fallout from a rally full of racist and anti-democratic remarks that don’t help him beat the “weird” allegation. On Thursday, JD Vance went on a Joe Rogan interview and proceeded to make things quite a bit worse for the former guy.

Joe Rogan is rarely the type of host who pushes back against his guests, regardless of how inane their remarks on any given subject might be – but we saw him do it against the former guy just a week or so ago, and even laugh out loud at parts when Trump was clearly off the deep end. To the surprise of no one, he did the same thing with Vance on his podcast – as he expressed his disapproval of Roe v. Wade’s repeal – that it ultimately allows religious men to dictate what women can and cannot do with their bodies. Rogan pushed back saying: “I think there’s very few people who are celebrating.”

Vance, who has a long history of making vile and misogynistic remarks, countered by saying that women took their freedom to choose too far. It’s hardly new – this is an age-old argument whenever women’s rights are discussed. One could hardly wonder why there’s an overwhelming gender gap in the early vote that right-wingers are currently freaked out about. We might be winning this election – but it’s still ours to win. Let’s drive up our margins and get Kamala Harris elected president on Nov 5 with a Democratic trifecta and turn the page on dangerous theocrats like Trump and Vance who are openly calling for the eradication of a constitutional right.

Once we finish winning this election, I'm going to find a way to build Palmer Report into the kind of juggernaut that can either scare the major media outlets into being more honest or just flat out put them out of business. I'm asking you to make one big final push right now so we can come out of this election ready to take over the political media scape. Help me fully fund this before election day so we can do this right.
