A proposal to honor vice president-elect J.D. Vance at a city council meeting in tiny Middleton, Ohio, was disrupted when a dispute broke out this week after his mother made a plea to the city fathers to acknowledge his part in Donald Trump's 2024 election win.
Mayor Elizabeth Slamka added, “It is fair to recognize. That is in the works. I am not a political person. It can be very polarizing. But I think we can recognize.”
The very non-political position of mayor
Middletown is in rough shape and has been for years. It's part of the Rust Belt and has long been neglected by failed economic policies. Nearby towns now use it as a dumping ground for their homeless population. It was hit particularly hard by the opioid epidemic.
Middletown has enough problems to deal with. They sure as hell don't need to add Trump's vice-cuck to that list.
