Instead, they were fixated on a certain aspect of his appearance: his allegedly naturally smokey eyes.
"JD Vance went heavy on the eyeliner this morning," journalist Aaron Rupar posted on X, along with a clip of Vance's speech.
Rupar's remark, echoed by dozens of others on X, resurrected rumors from last year's campaign that the vice president wears eyeliner. The speculation began last summer , when journalist James Surowiecki quote-tweeted a clip of Vance from a September 2021 video interview with the caption: "Why does JD Vance always look like he's wearing eyeliner?"
Second Lady Usha Vance struggled mightily to clear up the rumor last August, telling Puck News: "They're all natural, I've always been jealous of those lashes."
"First Vice President to cosplay The Cure," one wrote Wednesday, comparing Vance to the British rock band heavy-into-eye-makeup.
Others shared images to mock the vice president, including pictures of Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor Rob McElhenney in heavy makeup for the infamous "The Nightman Cometh" episode.
"Maybelline called and said they've had to ramp up eyeliner production to keep up with JD Vance's demand," slammed another.
"Very Heavy Eyeliner Day for JD Vance Coincides With Walmart Maybelline Sale," one user similarly joked .
