JD Vance's criticism of Donald Trump goes viral on TikTok; here's what he said

The Ohio senator's remarks have come back to haunt him as Donald Trump's running mate in the form of a viral hit on the social media app TikTok. In 2016, JD Vance declared that he would never be a Trump guy. DJ duo Casa Di and Steve Terrell sampled Vance's remarks from a 2016 interview with Charlie Rose while he was promoting his memoir Hillbilly Elegy to create the 22-second audio clip.

Vance is heard stating that he is not a Trump guy in the video. He never appealed to him. After that sample was added to the Petey Pablo hip-hop beat Freek-a-Leek, the resulting song went viral on TikTok, where it has amassed over 40 million views and been the soundtrack for over 8,500 videos in the past month.

The Harris-Walz campaign's official account has also shared the video. Casa Di and Steve Terrell have experienced viral success before with other songs. They collaborated with rapper That Chick Angel on the song One Margarita last year; the song was also initially influenced by a well-liked TikTok sample. In an interview with The New York Times, Terrell said that after watching a video of Vance speaking, they thought his voice was a sort of melodic in a sense.

Some of the politicians have been joining TikTok recently, and this is a few weeks before the social, famous video-sharing app is banned. With the race growing more intense, Kamala Harris, Tim Wilz, Pete Buttigieg, JD Vance, and Donald Trump have also started using TikTok in a bid to gain popularity among youthful voters. However, the social networking app and the US Department of Justice are still in a legal battle and can lead to an app ban. President Joe Biden signed a bill in April that seeks to compel the Chinese company ByteDance to either sell their app or get banned from the US app stores for a year. TikTok filed a lawsuit, claiming the legislation unjustly singles it out and is unconstitutional.

Harris, on the other hand, has said that in as much as she approves new ownership, she does not endorse the ban.
