Vance says the admin is just poking fun…

During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Vice President JD Vance was asked about the Hakeem Jeffries sombrero memes being shared on social media.

“The president’s been posting images of leader Jeffries and Senator Schumer recently … is that helpful if you’re trying to have good faith talks with him?” one reporter asked Vance.

“I think it’s funny — the president’s joking!” Vance said. “And we’re having a good time. You can negotiate in good faith while also poking a little bit of fun at the Democrats’ positions and even poking some fun at the absurdity of the democrats themselves.”

Vance then promised Jeffries that if he helps reopen the government, the memes will stop; “I’ve spoken to President Trump about that,” Vance said to laughs in the room.
