Vice President JD Vance just had the perfect response to a reporter’s question about the so-called ‘racist memes’ President Trump has been trolling Hakeem Jeffries with!
You know, these ones:

Ever since President Trump posted that first meme, Jeffries has been crying foul every chance he gets.
But during today's press conference, VP Vance made a "solemn promise" to Jeffries: "If you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop!"
As the crowd burst out in laughter, VP Vance vouched for President Trump,
"I've talked to the President of the United States about that!"
Watch for yourself:

VP Vance shared a longer clip:
VP Vance on President Trump’s sombrero meme:
“Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist, and I know that he said that, and I honestly don’t even know what that means.

Here's a partial transcript of that moment:
Reporter: You said that the President is joking, but Hakeem Jeffrey says that these, you know, these memes were racist. What’s your response to that?...
ADVERTISEMENTVance: Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist, and I know that he said that, and I honestly don’t even know what that means. Like, is he a Mexican American that is offended by having a Sombrero meme? I saw one of the major TV stations put the meme up and then say, “this is AI-generated.” And he had, like, the curly animated mustache too. It’s like the American people— do you really not realize the American people recognize that he did not actually come to the White House wearing a sombrero in a black curly animation mustache like, give the country a little bit of credit. We’re all trying to do a very important job for the American people. The President United States likes to have a little bit of fun when he’s doing it, and I think that’s ok.
You heard him, Hakeem!
End the government shutdown, and it will all be over...
But, until then, we're going to keep enjoying memes like these ones:

The White House is having a field day with it, too.
As I write this, the Mexican Jeffries meme is playing on a loop in the White House press briefing room...
