'This is a head fake': Internet explodes after J.D. Vance argues Biden must 'resign now'

• Donald Trump's pick for vice president is under fire Saturday for a statement about President Joe Biden just days after Vance's Republican National Convention speech.

J.D. Vance, the controversial author and Ohio senator who has been accused of being part of a plan to setback women's rights in the United States as Trump's number two, took to social media over the weekend to make an argument in favor of Biden resigning to presidency at once.

"Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism," Vance wrote on X. "If you can't run, you can't serve."

Vance then added, "He should resign now."

The internet was quick to react. While numerous Trump allies such as Lauren Boebert shared the sentiments, other onlookers pointed out flaws in Vance's argument.

Conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg called it a "head fake."

"This just strikes me as a silly argument factually (smart politically though). If Biden broke a hip, he couldn’t run — literally or figuratively — but he could still serve out his term," Goldberg wrote. "Cancer might make another term unwise but not require resignation. This is a head fake."

Matthew Dowd, who previously worked for George W. Bush's campaigns, said, "ummm, didn't you say Trump was unfit to be President just in last few years?"

"Quite an absurd level of cynicism for you to now run on the ticket with him don't you think?" he asked.

"We’re gonna win," the account added. "Bigly."

@ChidiNwatu chimed in, "The guy who referred to Trump as 'America's Hitler' and a 'cynical a--hole,' and stated that only an 'idiot' would vote for him, has opinions on embracing cynicism. You can't make this stuff up."
