JD Vance Jokes About Deporting Tourists Attending 2026 World Cup
www.huffpost.com
The vice president warned people attending the five-week tournament next year not to overstay their welcome, or there would be consequences.

JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.

It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.

Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.

    Right, but Qatar committed to treating those tourists as guests, and as far as I know, did exactly that, even easing some of their morality laws for the visitors. Attending the Qatar World Cup was unethical, but not stupidly self-endangering. Attending the World Cup in the US under the current situation is stupidly self-endangering, especially if you aren’t “white”, but also sometimes even then.
