J.D. Vance Has Awkward Conversation With Donut Store Employee

J.D. Vance‘s appearance at a Georgia donut shop wasn’t as sweet as the pastries he bought … ’cause he sure had an awkward chat with an employee who appeared less than impressed.

The Republican nominee for vice president was in Valdosta, Georgia for a rally Thursday … and, he stopped by Holt’s Sweet Shop, where he ordered 2 dozen donuts with a gaggle of press following him around.

Vance put in his order … and, check out the clip, ’cause the woman at the counter immediately asks not to be shown on camera. Vance makes a point of telling the press to cut her out of their vids.

JDV then introduces himself to the woman … “I’m J.D. Vance, I’m running for vice president” … which did not appear to wow her.

He asks some questions about the business, including how long the crew at the counter have worked there … receiving brusque answers.

Then comes time to pick out the 24 donuts … and, ya gotta watch the clip to the end — ’cause it sounds like Vance isn’t much of a donut guy.

Obviously, politicians hit businesses like this all the time while campaigning, often with advance notice … but, this visit looked spontaneous, since no one there seems to know what’s going on.

It’s not exactly the warm welcome J.D. and his team were probably hoping for here … especially in Georgia, which Joe Biden won by a slim margin in 2020 … and where Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton back in 2016.
