To my ear, his rapid speaking pattern is off-putting. I think it makes him sound dimwitted and juvenile. I think most intelligent people who hear him speak arrive at the same conclusion.

I don't think Vance remembers this Jose Padilla - I think he used the name Jose because it's a common Spanish name and he's trying to reinforce the notion that Sen. Padilla is not a "real" American, despite having been born and raised in the Los Angeles area.

Poor little ole James Donald Bowman his birth name

Who became James David Hamel

Who then once again he decided to change his name again, to Vance.


At least 3 times he changed his name and for him to rename a sitting Senator that he served with in the senate, and treating Senator Padilla with such disrespect tells us everything we need to know about their beliefs. They are the opposite of what they preach.

If I, as a woman who took spouse's surname back before I knew any better and now have to spend $$ proving why my legal name and birth name are not same surname, the VP of the US should have to deal with his name change publically too!

filled with self hatred. As an Indian guy born and raised in the US I can say most of the time from my experience when an Indian woman marries a white man it's due to self hatred and desperately wanting to be white. She doesn't give a damn about Vance's racism since she believes her proximity to his whiteness will ultimately protect her and give her what she wants and needs.

60. My ex husband did that.
Sat Jun 21, 2025, 02:18 AM

He was a racist, and he worked with a lot of Hispanic people at the fabricating plant where he was employed. He wouldn't bother learning their names -- he called them all "Jose." His excuse was that they all were illegal (according to him), and would hire in with one name but then disappear when immigration was in the area, then hire back in a few months later with a completely different first and last name. Over and over and over, so there was no point in learning names and he just called them all "Jose" for simplicity.

What he was really doing was dehumanizing them by refusing to acknowledge even their names.

When my teenage daughter (his step-daughter) got her first serious boyfriend, he was Hispanic, which really chapped my ex's ass. And he couldn't even pull his dehumanizing schtick, because the boyfriend's name really was Jose! LOL So he came up with a lame insulting nickname for him, but we all just laughed it off. He and my daughter were together for several years, including during and after the split with my ex.

Anyway, I think that's what Vance was doing -- intentionally dehumanizing Padilla by using "Jose" as a substitute for his actual name.
