I think you can tell he was being tongue in cheek about it, and I am willing to bet the next few seconds after the clip would've been the audience of graduates laughing. The framing made it seem like he said this while getting booed.

It reminds me of when Obama joked about drone striking teenagers at a White House Corespondent's Dinner. This is admittedly less ghoulish.

Yeah this was a real letdown.

[-] EveningCicada@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago

It's RT, they're obviously gonna spin it uncharitably

Jeb's please clap makes SOME sense: he was prompting he was done speaking and it was fine to clap.

Its still bad (either have a hype guy, one of those APPLAUSE signs, or trust the audience). But this is waaaaaaaay worse. jeb

The best part is that he’s cunning enough to try to use humor to act like he’s above it but because he is a charisma vacuum and he looks like a baby with a beard nobody will take the performance seriously.

clown-to-clown-communication “why is nobody taking me seriously”

maybe it also happened in the past couple years and i just didn't notice, but why does it look like this year every graduation speaker decided now is the time to talk about AI

[-] buttwater@hexbear.net 55 points 20 hours ago

Every commencement speaker went to their ai of choice and asked it to write a commencement speech

Vice President ? More like Scheiß President. It rhymes

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 31 points 19 hours ago

ai will be putting kid killers out of a job, of course they would be annoyed

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 34 points 20 hours ago

Boo this man

[-] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 46 points 21 hours ago

"Hahahaha I own you!" was the vibe I got there

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 33 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

game of thrones ass bit

edit: unfortunately but also highly expectedly it seems that the Air Force academy cadets were not cool enough to actually boo the vice president and he was saying this as a joke

''Sir, a second Jeb has please clapped the building''

Sometimes, the boos are not enough

One of these kids could have spared a shoe or vape to throw at him

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 29 points 20 hours ago

Didn't they just do some law that lets military members carry guns, or does the air force academy not count because it's not a military base

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 31 points 20 hours ago

Yes and yes

I looked it up and they don't even let the cadets have missiles

That's a fuckin rip

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 26 points 20 hours ago

They make you wait a long time to get to blow your arm off with a gernade and get that camaro

"In the land of the booed, the man with no claps is king!"

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 9 points 19 hours ago

I love how it took MAGA only a decade to become even more openly pathetic than Jeb!

They fucking speedran that shit

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 22 points 19 hours ago

i wish i could hear the booing in the video

"And any man who must say 'I am the ~~king~~ vice president' is no true ~~king~~ vice president at all"

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 12 points 19 hours ago

Gotta say it like Donald Lannister: "And any man, I'm a man, JD Vance, well I guess he's also a man, that's certainly what his wife tells me (chuckle), well if he's, if he's gotta say he's the vice president, I mean, he's told me, everyone's told me he's the vice president, I got him that job you know, being the vice president, but if he's, you know if he's gotta say he's the vice president, then, well I don't know, but a vice president shouldn't have to say he's the vice president"

[-] buttwater@hexbear.net 29 points 21 hours ago

Can only get away with a line like that while giving a speech at the war crime academy to all the aspiring war criminals

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 7 points 19 hours ago

Critical support to JD Vance if he'd only said "At least I don't kill kids"

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 22 points 20 hours ago

dennis-stare I'll have you know JD Vance is a 5-star man!

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 15 points 21 hours ago

"Literal boos". The horror.

[-] gingerbrat@hexbear.net 15 points 21 hours ago
