Kyle Becker, a Fox News writer and podcast host, interviewed Vice President JD Vance on March 20, 2025. In a short clip, which Becker posted to X, the VP joked about his predecessor Kamala Harris. When asked how he differs from Harris, Vance said he doesn’t drink at work. He said alcohol was the only thing that could explain Harris’ inability to answer questions and bizarre speaking patterns.
Long-running rumors have been that Kama Harris drank heavily while on the campaign trail. Vice President Vance has clashed with Harris several times and often criticized her policies. On the campaign trail, he constantly criticized the Democratic candidate. Social media users applauded Vance for his hilarious takedown. Many users contrasted Vance’s clear speaking and razor-sharp wit with Kamala’s inability to speak clearly.
After Becker asked Vance to contrast himself with Harris, Vance replied with a hilarious comment. The VP said, “Well, I don’t have, you know, four shots of vodka before every meeting. That’s that’s one way I think that Kamala really tried to bring herself into the role, [with] these word salads, and I think that I would need the help of a lot of alcohol to answer a question the way that Kamala Harris answered questions. I mean, look, man, I don’t know. ”
Before this hilarious dunk, Vance had no secret about his contempt for the former VP. Before the election, he said, “I’d rather have a president who fires people who aren’t doing a good job rather than protecting them. When you protect people who fail, like Kamala Harris does, you get the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and sky-high inflation. Bring accountability back!”
Vance has also criticized Harris for her proposed tax policy, which he says was overly beneficial to China. He posted, “Kamala Harris said she wants to raise your taxes and send your money to EV companies that make their cars in China. Donald Trump will cut your taxes and pressure companies to make their products right here in America.”
Users took the chance to mock Kamala in the comments section under the original clip. One reply read, “JD Vance just nuked Kamala’s political career harder than voters did in 2024. Kamala: ‘Well, uh, see, the thing about time… is that… hic… it’s… well… uh… who moved my drink??’Meanwhile, Trump and Vance are actually running the country while Kamala is somewhere in California, giving a TED Talk to her reflection about ‘significant moments’ in between rounds of boxed wine.”

The same comment continued, “Seriously, shoutout to our stone-cold sober, actually competent VP for keeping it real. No vodka, no word salads, just leadership. Cheers!” Others remarked on the shocking difference between the two politicians. Another noticed, “That’s a great start. To be fair, Kamala didn’t set the bar very high.” One reply read, “What did Kamala actually ever DO? JD has been more active in his short time than she was in 4 years.”
Many comments were awed by JD’s cutting wit and perfect comedic timing. A quote tweet read, “JD is a freaking savage. Saying what everyone knows but nobody has the stones to say except our hillbilly bad*ss.” Another commenter said, “Millennials have prayed for a VP like @JDVance for so long … love this unhinged patriot.”
