    Upton was a deep red South Carolina classic belle. She was heavily promoted by Republican social media boosters.

    It’s crazy that this is the woman Vance decided to pick on

      It’s pretty typical for Vance. Yank the angriest incel imaginable out of their basement, give them a suit and a fresh haircut, shove them in front of a microphone and you get JD Vance. No exaggeration whatsoever

      Regardless of political beliefs, one thing I do know is that social media and online bullying needs to stop

      Sounds to me like she still is, when she can’t even find the words to properly condemn the side that does the majority of this type of bullying. I know she’s not the brightest bulb in the room, but even she should at some point notice how she’s just being used and that no one on her side is actually respecting her - or rather purposefully disrespects her. Not that she’s the only woman, or black person, or gay person, or trans person, etc. etc. I just don’t understand those people. It’s like a Stockholm syndrome kinda thing.
