CINCINNATI, OHIO: Democrats have been promoting the idea that JD Vance is "weird" among women for weeks. Now, a photograph that dates back decades has been discovered, and it won't help the Republican nominee for vice president refute that assertion.

Even though it was said in jest and had a genuine purpose, it is nevertheless unfavorable given the numerous accusations made about Donald Trump's choice for his number two.

JD Vance's bizarre photo with girls in men's bathroom

In the picture, obtained by Daily Mail, JD Vance, who was 18 at the time, is seen watching three girls pretend to use the urinals in a men's restroom.

When the photo was taken in 2003, Vance, then known as JD Hamel, was a senior at Middletown High School in Ohio.

The yearbook itself did not explain the three girls' presence in the bathroom or their inclusion in the photo with Vance.



 

 

One woman who requested for her name to be withheld explained that it was done to highlight the influence that year's female student government had. "We thought it would be funny," she added, per the outlet. "Usually it was all male officers, and we were an even split, and so it was sort of the opposite."

JD Vance was VP of the student government at that time

The top four student council officers, president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, were depicted in the photo. It is ironic because JD Vance previously served as vice president, the job he is currently vying for in the federal government.

Although the image was intended to be a humorous look at school life, it can't help but contribute to the impression that Vance, who is now 40, will need to change.

JD Vance continues to face criticisms after being Donald Trump's VP pick

Since Donald Trump selected JD Vance as his running mate on July 15, the Ohio senator, who is serving his first term in office, has been under relentless criticism. Democrats have happily clung to his previous remarks, which support the notion that he lacks social skills with women.

One of the most notorious remarks against Vance was when he said that the country is "effectively run by a bunch of childless cat ladies" singling out Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg who are "miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too."

"The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children," Vance asserted, failing to mention that Buttigieg and Harris are also adoptive parents and that AOC, at 34, is still able to bear children.

Internet wonders how times have changed after JD Vance's odd teen pic resurfaces

Apparently, no one seemed to care that JD Vance had taken a high school photo in the boy's restroom with some of his female classmates.

One X user tweeted, "In the beforetimes, people used to engage in tomfoolery without even thinking that it would be used against them on technology that was yet to exist. It was a better time, frankly."

"Oh no a bunch of high schoolers being silly," penned added individual. "Back then this was a joke Because it was silly to think of. Think about it," remarked someone else.

"Back then it was a silly joke. Nowadays it's serious stuff. Truly astonishing how crazy society has become," echoed someone else.
