Vice President Vance slammed Democrats on Tuesday over a taco truck they deployed to mock President Trump with free food outside the GOP headquarters on Capitol Hill.
“We have the lamest opposition in American history,” Vance wrote on the social media platform X in response to a post about the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) taco truck, which features a depiction of Trump in a giant chicken costume with the words "Trump Always Chickens Out."
The Trump administration has been hit with the “TACO” moniker on Wall Street over the president’s penchant to renege on policies after they prove to be unpopular.
Democrats have embraced the phrase to more broadly blast the president over his policies.
"Trump always chickens out — we’re just bringing the tacos to match," DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement on the food truck's message. “Instead of realizing his tariff chaos is wrecking the economy, Trump continues to drag America towards more economic pain, and the rest of the world sees Trump for exactly what he is: a chicken."
The term was coined by a Financial Times journalist, Robert Armstrong.
The DNC hit back at Vance by recalling a viral video from an awkward donut shop stop on during the 2024 campaign in Georgia.
"We understand that JD Vance, the cringiest VP in American history who cannot order a donut like a normal human being, prefers to take food away from people — including 40 million Americans whose SNAP benefits are under threat from Trump and the GOP's budget bill," deputy communications director Abhi Rahman said in a statement to The Hill.
