JD Vance's stop at donut shop goes viral, internet calls it “embarrassing”

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is facing online criticism for his treatment of employees at a Georgia doughnut shop – the latest in a series of food-related mishaps.

In a clip captured by C-SPAN on Thursday, Vance visits Holt's Sweet Shop and thanks the woman behind the counter for allowing him to visit. Shortly afterward, she tells him, “I don't want to be filmed.”

Vance then turns to his entourage and says, “She doesn't want to be filmed, guys, so just cut her out of everything.”

After looking at the donut display, he says, “I'm JD Vance, I'm running for Vice President, nice to see you.”
