'Who thought this was a good idea?' Conservative hits J.D. Vance over Kamala Harris stunt

On Thursday morning, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" regular conservative Charlie Sykes harshly criticized Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for what he called earlier in the morning a "pathetic weird stalking act" involving Vice President Kamala Harris' plane late Wednesday afternoon.

According to "Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski, Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate and a group of aides fast walked towards Air Force Two, which was sitting on the tarmac in Wisconsin where both candidates were making appearances, with Vance smirking at reporters and claiming, "I just wanted to check out my future plane."

Using a new nickname for Vance that is growing in popularity, Brzezinski prompted her guest with, "I've got to tell you, 'J.V. Vance' kind of fits right here. Your thoughts?"

"Who thought this was a good idea?" the conservative Sykes exclaimed. "I mean, really? To put the vice presidential candidate on this weird stalking routine. And that gimmick was lame with hair on it, it was just embarrassing."

"Awkward," Brzezinski interjected.

"Yeah, it was cringe, it was awkward, in part, because as we were talking before, the split screen between this enthusiastic, happy warrior campaign, and then there is J.D. Vance who bumbles easy questions about, what makes you smile?" Sykes replied. "He couldn't even come up with something that made him sound like an authentic human being."

"Later, he was asked by a Wisconsin reporter, you know, 'In Wisconsin, I want to have a beer with you,' and he bumbled that," he continued. "It's like he can't even bring himself to say something just, you know, normal about all of this."

"J.D. Vance has shown himself willing to do things that would be beneath the dignity of most politicians in America, on both the right and the left," Sykes elaborated. "He is willing to say things to engage in the kinds of below-the-belt, unfair, dishonest, vile attacks that I think most politicians, I think, would say, 'You know what? Let somebody else do that or 'That's really not where we want to go in this campaign.' But with Donald Trump, you know, sitting in splendid isolation down in Mar-a-Lago, what have they got?"'
