Now, Vice President JD Vance is backing up President Trump.

During an appearance on Fox News tonight, VP Vance was asked to respond to the controversy.

He chalked it up to a misunderstanding, noting that President Trump intended the post as a “joke,” but people misinterpreted it.

Watch what Vance had to say here for yourself:

JUST NOW — JD VANCE on Trump’s deleted post after religious backlash: “He doesn’t send everything through a communications professional.”

“The president was posting a joke and of course he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor in that case.”

“I think the president of the United States likes to mix it up on social media, and I actually think that’s one of the good things about this president is that he’s not filtered.”

Sometimes jokes fall flat, even for our president (even though it’s rare for Trump)!

What are your thoughts?

Does JD Vance’s explanation clear things up for you?
