ICYMI: MAGA folks are having a racist meltdown because JD Vance’s wife is not white.
Throughout the Republican National Convention—that ended last night—many POC speakers such as Harmeet Dhillon, Sen. Tim Scott, Madeline Brame, and Vivek Ramaswamy, were placed to show the GOP’s superficial commitment to harboring diversity within the party.

Take a look.
