JD Vance Mistakes National Guard for Museum Exhibit
On an uncharacteristically cautious Monday in Washington D.C., Vice President JD Vance approached an Ohio National Guardsman and, with the delicate tone of a kid in a candy shop, asked, 'Sorry to bother you, sirāis that thing real?' Clearly mistaking the Guard for a firearms petting zoo, Vance's moment of curiosity illuminated either historic naĆÆvetĆ© or performance art. No word yet if Vance tried to Instagram the rifle or asked if it was made of titanium. This interaction will live forever in the annals of 'Maybe donāt touch that, sir' moments during official patrols USA.

JD Vance walks up to an armed National Guardsman like he's never seen a gun before, asks to touch it, and somehow this wasnāt national news until today. Guess diplomacyās just about touching guns now.
JD Vance treating the National Guard like a Smithsonian exhibit: can I see it? Can I pet it? Next up, asking if the guard dog fetches or just barks tutorial videos.
Nothing says strong leadership like hesitating to interact with armed troops because you think their rifles might be props from a Low Budget Western.
