Trump butt-kisser Sen. J.D. Vance discovered his inner Kumbaya and immediately put it to use racially vilifying Biden FCC nominee Gigi Sohn.

Sohn, a longtime public interest advocate and former Democratic FCC official, would break the current 2-2 deadlock at the FCC in the Democrats’ favor and allow them to reverse Donald Trump’s deregulation, restore open internet protections and close the digital divide.

Not surprisingly, that has made Sohn a major target of right-wing nonprofits, right-wing media and, of course, Republicans. But former Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp has also worked to oppose her. The Washington Post reported that Sohn has become the target of threatening phone calls and emails, name-calling, and attacks on her openly gay sexual orientation.

Vance did his part for the right-wing effort with just the kind of mean-spirited dishonesty we’ve come to expect from him. In this case, he tried to dress it up as a love for racial harmony and comity.

And because nothing says “racial harmony and comity” like gotcha questions, Vance read a couple of Sohn's statements in which he altered some of her real words about white supremacy to Black in order to “prove” she’s an anti-white racist.

For example, Vance read, “Angry Black woman, not a good look, Judge Brown Jackson.” Sohn’s actual tweet was, “Angry white man, not a good look Judge Kavanaugh.” When Sohn objected that she thought the tweet had nothing to do with whether she should be confirmed as an FCC commissioner, Mr. Comity called that “preposterous.” In other words, Vance thinks a key qualification for FCC commissioner is that she not be too sympathetic to Blacks.

Then, Vance offered up this plate of BS as justification:

VANCE: Here’s why I think that it’s relevant. We live in a country that’s very diverse, people come from very different backgrounds and one of the things that preserves what little racial harmony and comity we have in this country is that our leaders don’t use that racial comity and harmony like a toddler who discovered their Daddy’s gun. You talk about racial issues in a way that will inflame the very worst things in our country and I fear that if you’re given this position of authority, you will use that authority to continue to inflame and to continue, potentially, even to censor based on some of these ideas.

Talk about preposterous! Vance is the guy who has no problem with real racial arsonists like Donald Trump, whom he has called, “the best president of my lifetime.” That is, after it was no longer expedient to call Trump “an idiot” “noxious” and “reprehensible.”
