Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) is getting some harsh reviews on X after posting a message that critics say sounds a little too desperate.

Vance, who is reportedly on Donald Trump’s short list for vice president, praised Donald Trump Jr. ― one of the former president’s sons ― as “one of the best people I’ve met in politics.”

He shared a link to an Axios article saying Donald Trump Jr. has become “a behind-the-scenes power broker in GOP politics” and is poised to help carry on his father’s legacy.

“He genuinely believes in America First and works his ass off to make it a reality,” wrote Vance.

But his critics saw it as a bid to butter up the Trump family and push his name up the list for VP ― and called him out over it on X:

This is the most intense suck up I’ve ever seen. If you want to be VP that much, it’s a sign you shouldn’t be the pick. https://t.co/QA9mCQrGYe

Well, every king needs a court jester and every village needs an idiot so here you are.

Nothing makes you seem like you are fit for leadership quite like sucking up to the boss's son in hopes of getting the VP slot on a losing ticket.

"I go back and forth between thinking Trump might be a cynical asshole like Nixon or that he might be America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?" - JD Vance
