Vice President JD Vance is defending President Trump for posting racist videos mocking House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries. On Monday, Trump shared an AI-generated video on social media depicting Jeffries wearing a sombrero and curly mustache as mariachi music plays in the background. After Jeffries condemned the video as racist and bigoted, Trump on Tuesday posted another deepfake video mocking his reaction. On Wednesday, Vice President Vance called the videos “funny,” adding, “The president’s joking, and we’re having a good time.”
