That "Jose Padilla" slip isn't innocent or forgetful, it's a rhetorical weapon. It's dehumanizing. It's racialized.
JD Vance knows Alex Padilla - they served in the same damn chamber, and calling him "Jose" isn't just disrespect, it's dog-whistle politics meant to "other" him in front of a right-wing audience.
It sends the message: he's not really one of us.
And all this ranting about Democrats siding with sex traffickers and cartels? That's classic fascist propaganda:
πΉSmear the opposition as traitors or monsters.
πΉFrame dissent as a threat to national purity.
πΉClaim moral high ground while enabling cruelty.
