The Republican presidential nominee made the weirdest comment in his interview with Joe Rogan.

JD Vance claimed that he and Donald Trump could likely win the votes of “normal” gay men because they “just want to be left the hell alone.”

Vance appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience for a three-hour interview released Thursday, discussing everything from Emily in Paris to him standing at his front door for an hour with a loaded gun after the first Trump assassination attempt.

But one of the wildest moments in the interview came when Vance told Rogan he believed he and Trump would win the “normal gay guy vote” due to the “extremist religion” of “wokeness.”

“Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if me and Trump won just the normal gay guy vote, because again, they just want to be left the hell alone,” Vance said. “And now you have all this crazy stuff on top of it that they’re like ‘No, no … we didn’t want to give pharmaceutical products to 9-year-olds who are transitioning their genders.’”

Rogan then went on to discuss how it’s actually the transgender movement that’s homophobic, pushing some of his most outlandish anti-trans views yet.

    Just think of how hilarious the timeline where he actually managed to flip the vehicle would have been. I’m not sure if it would have been funnier if he flipped the vehicle with Trump in it or some other vehicle in the motorcade.

      That thing weighs 9 ton (20000 lb). I think it is more likely he would have flipped the forklift… Considering he is bulletproof, because otherwise I am pretty sure he would be dead long before that.

        Yeah, such a scenario would have to involve a comedy of errors leading up to the attempted flip, which would add to the spectacle. Benny Hill playing in the background.
