Overview
- A video from an October New York Post podcast shows Vice President JD Vance saying it is "totally reasonable" to prefer neighbors who speak the same language.
- In the clip, Vance uses an example of "20 people" from a "totally different culture" moving into a three‑bedroom house to frame neighborhood concerns.
- The footage resurfaced online on December 7–8, prompting widespread sharing on X and coverage by outlets including Raw Story and The Mirror.
- Social media users mocked the remarks by noting Vance’s family ties, with posts like "Dawg, your in‑laws speak another language" gaining traction.
- Vance responded on X by calling a paraphrase of his comments "made up" yet asserting it is reasonable to want a shared language with neighbors, adding that English is the common language in the United States.
