'Pathetic' J.D. Vance speech geared toward 'men radiating bitter divorce energy': analysis

Salon columnist Amanda Marcotte on Tuesday attended Sen. J.D. Vance's (R-OH) speech in Philadelphia and came away decidedly underwhelmed.

In her latest article, Marcotte described the vibe at the Vance speech as being like "a medium-sized wedding, albeit a pathetic one where no one cares for the couple."

She noted that while there were women in attendance, the majority of people who came to see Vance speak appeared to be aggrieved men.

"There was one kind of diversity in this small but weirdly intense crowd," she wrote.
