Vice President JD Vance is sorry — but not that sorry — for any disruptions his July family trip to Disneyland in California may have caused.

“We had the island to ourselves which was very cool. I had never been to Disneyland. I thought it was awesome,” Vance said during an episode of the Katie Miller Podcast that aired on Monday.

Speaking with Miller, a former Trump White House official who is married to current deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, Vance apologized to those impacted by the security preparations for his visit. “Sorry to all the people who were at Disneyland for the longer lines, but we had a very good time,” the vice president said with a smile, holding up his hands in mock defense.

But Vance’s visit to the Anaheim park was met with more than just lengthy lines. Hundreds protested his presence at Disneyland, which came as Trump administration immigration officials and federal troops were helping conduct and secure deportation raids across the Los Angeles area.

1. He's such a man of the people.

[hlthe2b]

2. He exudes deceit, charlatan and poseur.... As much as he might try to cover, it oozes out.

I don't know that even MAGA are fooled.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Smarmy. He's gonna single-handedly revive this word.

The weirdo beardo doesn’t help his image. As my grandmother would say, it looks ‘grubby’. In my much more crude manner, I suggest it resembles nothing more than a patch of vigorous pubic follicular activity. Maybe he can single-handedly drive facial hair from fashion as well.

[hlthe2b]

4. He thinks it "slims" his very round, chubby face and makes him look more "masculine..."

But, yes, "smarmy" does fit, especially with that eyeliner (and yes, dark eyebrows and lashes, aside, I've seen photos that confirm that he wears eyeliner).

[yorkster]

13. Smary and oleaginous.

[EYESORE 9001]

15. Yep. That one too.

It means ‘oily’, implying a slippery nature. Personally, I don’t think he’s got the charisma to pull it off.

[yorkster]

16. Smarmy.

[twodogsbarking]

19. It takes a special person to do things like this and then say it was cool. Very special.

[BoRaGard]

5. rich republicons think they are "royals" - not real Americans

fugg this "royal republicon" bullshit.

No kings and no junior varsity royals.

This is America, you corrupted republicon wankers.

[Irish_Dem]

6. He is just on one long vacation.

Killing time until he can get into the WH.

[yardwork]

23. I have a MH question!

I've noticed that Vance likes to go places where he'll be disliked, where he and his family are guaranteed to experience protests. Skiing in Vermont, visiting Disneyland in CA rather than Disney World in FL, vacationing in the Cotswolds (one of the more progressive rural areas of England).

I think he's doing this because he enjoys being perceived as a victim. Not just for political gain but because he's really that messed up.

I know some people like this who have been diagnosed with BPD.

What do you think?

[Irish_Dem]

31. A number of possible reasons:

Yes a BPD would like the chaos, division,
People taking sides.

The narcissist believes they are victims because they believe that they are the most brilliant special people in the world and misunderstood.

The psychopath claims victim status to deflect from their own crimes.

I think Vance loves shocking and upsetting people.

Musk does this with his young children and the baby mamas are very upset about it.

The news is full of how bad his marriage is. So he forces his wife and kids to act like performing deals and human shields.

[yardwork]

32. Very interesting!

I see a number of possible BPD traits in Vance, as a casual amateur observer. He keeps changing his identity - his name, his appearance, his political beliefs. He doesn't seem to know who he is. He's a chameleon.

7. JD Vance's apology to the public: It sucks to be you!

[IcyPeas]

8. Sorry? People buy tickets weeks... months in advance for a Disneyland trip

and it's frigging expensive. Vance probably ruined a lot of peoples' day.... but he had a good time... privileged asswipe. Dragging his kids around from vacation spot to vacation spot and them being booed and protested..... what does that do to a kid? Must be scary.

I.hate.these.people.

[Paladin]

9. What a complete and utter piece of shit.

Hey, J.D. Vance: As long as you want to talk about your many recent vacations, lets talk about your getting the level of that river raised by the powers that be, so your wide butt would be more comfortable while kayaking. That didn't go over very well with lots of people in Texas, where the government's clusterfuck dealings with flood waters contributed to a bunch of drowning deaths. Maybe you'd like to offer a half-ass apology to the parents of those dead school children.

[republianmushroom]

20. Amen

[Johonny]

10. They think theyre better than us

We the people don't matter. And thanks to lazy voters, we now have these ego maniacs running the country, perhaps forever.

[Javaman]

11. there is something that I would love to call him but it would get me banned

Instead I will just settle with this: couch fucker is a git.

[twodogsbarking]

12. Hey dipshit, we hate your guts and you.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Privileged prick.

[twodogsbarking]

18. It took awhile to remove the scum from the ride seats.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Did he punch Mickey Mouse in the nose

and then go buy a gun and take a park employee hostage?

[ificandream]

22. I still can't figure out what "quality" Vance had (besides kissing Trump's ass) that got him the VP role

He almost makes Dan Quayle look like a genius.

[yardwork]

24. Vance is owned by the billionaires who funded Trump's campaign.

His job is to wait in the wings until Trump is out of office and then go in and finish the job of giving everything to the billionaires.

[cbabe]

27. Peter Theil and Opus Dei. For starters.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Fuck you couch fucker

[BWdem4life]

26. Wish he had just stayed on the island. nt

[mdbl]

28. Another reason not to attend Disney

add to that the fact it's all over-priced and sub-par value for what you're paying - it's not worth the visit anymore.

[Blue Owl]

29. Everybody hates Vladimir Futon

[JI7]

30. This pos goes on vacation every week

[purr-rat beauty]

33. Did he say THANK YOU?

Vacationy Vance isn't very grateful for his umpteenth vacay on our tax dollar

What a WORTHLESS POS
