J.D. Vance Thought It Would Be Funny To Joke About Deporting A Menswear Writer Who Made Fun Of His Outfits
JD Vance suggested on social media Monday that he is OK with the idea of deporting a menswear expert who has skewered the vice president's fashion sense.
Derek Guy writes about men's fashion for various outlets and has a popular account on X where he often criticizes the fashion choices of public figures, including right-wing politicians.
In March, Guy suggested that the vice president's pants are too slim, which causes them to ride up his legs when he sits.

Although Guy keeps much of his identity private, he wrote a deeply personal X post on Sunday about his family fleeing the Vietnam War, calling the Trump administration's immigration policy 'inhumane.' He also shared that his mother brought him from Canada to the U.S. as a baby without legal documentation so they could reunite with his father.
Part of his X post mentioned the following:
I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part).
But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant.
Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else.
Guy's post pointed out that the vast majority of immigrants ― undocumented or not ― are not 'MS-13 members' but 'are all like your neighbors.'

X user @growing_daniel saw the opportunity for Vance to get revenge on Guy for teasing the vice president's socks and pants, and seemed to suggest he should deport the menswear expert. 'JD Vance I know you're reading this and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever,' he tweeted.

The vice president responded a short time later with a meme of Jack Nicholson from the 2003 film Anger Management, nodding vigorously in agreement.

Of course, people had thoughts.
Guy then responded to the vice president with some hilarious snark. 'i think i can outrun you in these clothes,' he wrote, posting photographic evidence of Vance's constricting pants and shirts.

Vance Threatens to Deport Menswear Fan Who Hates His Suits
Vice President JD Vance is threatening to deport the fashion guru who went viral for criticizing his suits as 'too small' and his ties for not matching the occasion. Derek Guy, known as the 'Menswear Guy,' said Sunday he is in the U.S. illegally—a revelation that right-wing accounts and Vance quickly seized on. 'The menswear guy just openly admitted on here that he's here illegally,' one X account posted. A second user quote-tweeted that initial post and added, 'JD Vance I know you're reading this and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.' This caught the vice president's attention. Vance replied at 11:30 a.m. Monday with a GIF of Jack Nicholson slowly nodding his head, raising his eyebrows, and flashing his menacing, signature grin. Vance, 40, did not elaborate further on his veiled threat. His office did not respond to an email from the Daily Beast asking for clarification on whether he is serious or not. Guy responded to the threat with a joke about how tight Vance's clothes can be on occasion. 'I think I can outrun you in these clothes,' he tweeted at Vance. Guy said he was inspired to tell his story because of the growing unrest in Los Angeles, which has been the site of recent immigration raids and demonstrations against the crackdown that have not always been peaceful. The fashion writer said his family fled Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and eventually made it to Canada, where he was born. Not long after, he said his mother carried him across the northern border of the United States, and he has lived here ever since. Guy suggested in his lengthy post that he is not a DACA recipient, which would provide him with legal protections in the U.S. as a childhood arrival who had no say in his illegal entry. Still, Guy emphasized that the U.S. is the only country he has ever known. He has used his platform on X, where he has 1.3 million followers, to criticize the sartorial choices of right-wing figures, with Vance among the men he has targeted the most. Guy posted in July that Vance's jackets 'don't hug him very well.' He compared photos of Vance in a jacket with those of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whom he noted has jackets that are 'properly seated on his neck.' The critiques only got harsher from there. In October, Guy posted a thread criticizing Vance for wearing a fuchsia raw silk tie to his vice presidential debate against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. 'You should also know what you're communicating,' Guy wrote. 'A fuchsia raw silk tie is very casual because of its color and material. To me, this is something you wear with seersucker or cream linen suits to summertime garden parties. The tie says, 'I'm here to have fun.'' Guy, who has published fashion critiques in Politico and been quoted as an expert by The Guardian and The Washington Post, continued his grilling of Vance into MAGA 2.0. He wrote on the eve of the inauguration, 'Vance's sleeves are too slim, causing them to catch on his shirt and ride up. Common problem any time something is too slim—might look good when you're standing still at the fitting, but it will bunch and catch as soon as you move.' Then, a month in, he could not resist taking a jab at Vance for wearing way-too-short pants on stage at CPAC, occasionally exposing part of his shin and calf. 'The second lady should advise him to get wider pants and over the calf socks so that his bare leg doesn't show when he sits down,' he wrote.

Vance, Newsom spar over Los Angeles: ‘Do your job'
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Vice President Vance on Monday sparred on social media over the situation in the Los Angeles area. The back-and-forth between the governor and the vice president started with Newsom responding to comments from President Trump, who said he would support arresting the Golden State governor. 'The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican, this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism,' Newsom said Monday afternoon on the social platform X. Vance responded to Newsom on X nearly two hours later, telling the governor to 'Do your job.' 'That's all we're asking,' he added. 'Do YOUR job. We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. Rescind the order. Return control to California,' Newsom shot back at Vance in a Monday evening response. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard members to the Los Angeles area on Saturday amid protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said previously the action was due to 'violent mobs' recently attacking 'Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations.' U.S. Northern Command announced on Monday that the U.S. military was set to move around 700 Marines to Los Angeles, further raising the military presence in the city.

Minnesota state representative admits she is in the US illegally during legislative debate
A Minnesota State lawmaker told her colleagues on Monday that she is in the U.S. illegally, as is her family, and have been since fleeing Vietnam after the Vietnam War. Rep. Kaohly Vang Her attended a special session of the Minnesota Legislature convened by Gov. Tim Walz on Monday, where lawmakers were debating about modifying MinnesotaCare eligibility for undocumented adult immigrants. While arguments were being made, Her used the opportunity to share the story of how she arrived in the U.S., telling her colleagues that she is an illegal immigrant. Her said she has been spending a lot of time with her father, who brought the family to the U.S. at the end of the Vietnam War. At one point, she asked her father how he brought the family to the U.S. Colombian Woman Charged With Illegally Voting In 2024 Election Stealing $400,000 In Taxpayer Funded Benefits She previously believed that her family was granted entry into the U.S. because her grandfather was a colonel in the war. But her father told her that was not true. Read On The Fox News App Her father worked for the U.S. Consulate, Her said, and was one of the few there who could speak English and type "really fast." Her said her father had moved to the consulate away from the refugee camp she, her mother and sisters lived at, and his job was to process all the paperwork for the refugees who came to America. Proposed Bill Would Require Law Enforcement In Blue State To Cooperate With Ice: 'A Line Of Communication' While working at the U.S. Consulate, Her's family missed their opportunity to go to the U.S. three times, and there was one more time that they could attempt to go to the U.S. Her told her mother they must have been lucky, but her mom said it was not luck. "We did not have our names on that list to come to the U.S.," Her said, explaining that there was no priority for children of someone who worked for the CIA. "The only people that had names to come to the U.S. were if you were … in the military and you worked for the CIA or worked for USAID." Her's parents worked for a Christian organization, which also did not count. But they were able to find a way by fudging the paperwork, to get to the U.S. 'Shameful': Legal Immigrants Face Uphill Battle Amid Ongoing Border Crisis "What my father did was, one of our uncles worked for USAID, and because his mother had died, my father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother," Her said. "And so, I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country. And when we were fleeing that situation, never one time did my family say, 'Let's look at which state has the greatest welfare and which state has the greatest benefits, because that's the state we're going to go to.'" "Nobody leaves their country unless they have to leave that country," she added. Her told the room of lawmakers she shared the story because she wanted them to think about who they are calling illegal immigrants. Her's family was "smarter" in how they came to the U.S., she said, although they broke the laws to get into the country. "I never knew that," she said. "I just learned that now. So, when you're thinking about voting no on this bill, you're voting no against someone like me who paid more into this country than it has ever given to me, that the blood of my grandfather, who died for democracy, that he never received benefits being in this country, and yet he paid taxes his entire life into it." Her's office did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the matter. Still, Her asked her colleagues to give everyone the same opportunity her family had, however they got to the U.S. "They didn't want to leave where they were," she said. "We are not looking to what state is going to give us the best benefits. We're looking to just be alive."Original article source: Minnesota state representative admits she is in the US illegally during legislative debate
