JD Vance’s Irish ancestry claim hits a genealogical dead end

47 comments

1. JD Vance takes pride in declaring himself to be a “Scots-Irish hillbilly at heart” but a trawl of genealogy records has found no evidence linking the US vice-president to Ireland.

2. They lie about the dumbest shit

3. JD Vance is a crack baby that shows no sympathy towards the vast majority of Americans who are poor.  JD Vance is a hypocrite loser. 

4. I’m pretty sure he’s related to the banjo player in the movie Deliverance.

5. Did anyone else see that JD Vance got caught at a hotel with a male escort??

6. Perhaps a Scot should show them how they deal with liars.

7. JD Vance’s real name is James Donald Bowman. His mother’s side come from unremarkable Scot-Irish people with the Aiken last name. In history the generally were noted to be poor, largely criminal, and very unremarkable. When his family arrived in South Carolina they quickly embraced slavery and got into local and state government.

   The city of Aiken was named after his family. Prior to the civil war his family head William Aiken Jr was noted to control over 700 slaves on a brutal plantation called Jehossee Island were rape and molestation was common. The city’s founding and development was completely intertwined with the institution of slavery. Aiken County also played a role in the Civil War, with the city being the site of a battle during that conflict.

   After the war, Aiken quickly embraced indentured servitude paying his former slaves but billing them more than their pay so they would be financially indebted to him.

   See, JD, your history is right there.

8. Good, that means it’s even less likely I’m related to this scum bag

9. Irish? Surprising, i thought he descended from a turd.

10. That’s pretty common in America

11. Vance wasn’t born. He’s a sentient piece of whale shit that climbed out of the depths.

12. He looks like he’s one-quarter hedgehog.

13. He was plucked out of a cabbage patch.

14. As an Ohioan, who is of Scots-Irish decent,*with receipts* thank god.

    I’m sure he’s actually Austrian.

15. Have the Irish even said thank you once?

16. I assume he’s the first human to descend directly from dogshit

17. Cromwell was not Irish.

18. Shit James David Vance Says

19. What a fuckin poseur

20. So, JD is not Scottish-Irish yet he identifies as Scottish-Irish?

    That’s interesting… 🤔

21. Didn’t they make a big deal about Elizabeth Warren a few years back? So this’ll be a problem too, right?

22. Cool, time to start calling him St. Patrick then. We can give him the Elizabeth Warren/Pocahontas treatment for sure.

    Edit: the more I think about it, I’m definitely gonna start calling JD Vance “St. Patrick.”

23. The Irish and Scots are rejoicing that this fuck cannot be related to those great people. I am a duel Irish and Americans citizen

24. Sorry, but a prerequisite to being Scotts-Irish is to be a human being.

25. Trump going to start calling him Danny Boy and mock him like he did to Warren? (Sorry, only thing i could think of)

26. JD Vance will be whatever you want him to be for the right price.

27. I think he is a gynecological dead end as well.

28. Not a hillbilly. Not Irish. Not even your real name. A total fraud.

29. What are the chances Republicans give him a hard time about this like they did Mrs. Warren?

30. Prolly could trace it to Germany sometime after 1945, just a guess

31. He lies almost every single time he speaks. He told the truth when he said trump is America’s Hitler though.

32. Is this the part where we start calling him stereotypical Irish names and accuse him of misrepresenting his heritage?

33. He needs a nickname from Trump now.

34. It seems that US citizens are very invested in how much percent of something they are. Can they not be content with being Americans?

35. Vance is obviously a stupid liar, but families frequently have lineage myths. Some intentional, some not.

36. Plot twist – Vance’s ancestors are from Africa

37. This from the party that mocked Elizabeth Warren’s ancestry.

38. Have they tried matching him to coprolite samples in an Irish museum? 

39. I won’t criticism Vance for ancestral claims because every family has dubious oral family histories. I will criticize him for being a fucking asshole.

40. Good, we don’t want him

41. If your great-great-grandparents were born in America, I think you are just American at that point. You are just cosplaying at that point.

42. Leprechauntas.

43. I wish Vance’s father was a genealogical dead end.

44. Even his own DNA disowned his sorry ass. 😂

45. I think if they dig a little deeper they would find vance has lineage in 16th century Turkey, no doubt he is a direct descendant going back to the ottoman / chaise lounge empire

46. I bet his family tree has a few closed loops in it

47. He’s like George Santos being “jew-ish”, JD Vance is “ire-ish”.
