The yearbook, however, had no explanation given but the three women seen with JD explained to Daily Mail that it was meant to show the power of girls in the student government that year. All four of them, including JD, were the top student council officers — president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. JD was the vice president and all other posts were held by women that year. “We thought it would be funny,” a woman in the photo said. “Usually it was all male officers, and we were an even split, and so it was sort of the opposite,” she said.
JD Vance has remained viral for all the wrong reasons since his nomination as the vice-president candidate by the GOP. But this time, social media users said there was nothing wrong in the photo as a bunch of high schoolers were just being silly. “Girls must have felt really comfortable with him to do that,” one said.
“Believe it or not, high schoolers used to joke like this, because the idea was absurd, before it became a reality,” another wrote.
JD Vance campaign reacted sharply to the viral photo and asked whether the media was worried about the 20-year-old yearbook. “Kamala Harris created inflation that’s crushing American families, caused a historic crisis at our southern border, and allowed deadly fentanyl to flood into communities across our country, and this is what the media is worried about,” a spokesperson for Vance told The Daily Beast in a statement when asked about the photo.
“A goofy high school yearbook from over 20 years ago? Get a life,” the spokesperson said.
