JD Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, planning to give political reporters a show as he confronted the vice president uninvited on Wednesday. His power-play dreams, like most of his chaotic veep run, were immediately thwarted once he realized Harris was not present. “I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance told campaign reporters gathered on the tarmac in Wisconsin.

you can't get shot for storming the VPs plane?

they just let you on it?

for all the innocuous things you can get shot for, storming the vice President's plane seems like one you would get shot for.

Presumably, he also has secret service protection, so they knew he was coming. Hilarious they decided not to just tell him she wasn't there

Oh, got it, thanks.

Not telling him is super funny.

Like the agents around him just giving each other knowing glances every now and then, inwardly giggling at how funny it's going to be when he rushes into an empty plane.

The toddler needs to vent.

Having flown out of the airport in question, it only has one gate, it's pretty tiny. Their planes were probably parked literally right next to each other, so it wasn't exactly out of his way

Hell, you barely get prosecuted for storming Jan 6th

When you're that rich they let you do it

I think that was more likely had she been on it at the time.
