J.D. Vance doubled down on his poorly received joke about Diet Mountain Dew by toasting with a bottle of the fizzy drink Thursday during a trip to the southern border.
“This is the good stuff here. High caffeine, low calorie,” said Donald Trump’s running mate before guzzling the soda on camera.
Last month, Vance’s remark that Democrats found everything racist, including him enjoying the popular soft drink, was met with blank stares and a few awkward laughs at his first campaign rally after being chosen as the GOP vice presidential pick in Middletown, Ohio.
