Vice President Vance Targets MAGA Commentator with Weight Remark in Burrito Debate

A social-media spat erupted after right-wing host Matt Walsh warned that high food prices might undermine Donald Trump, and TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet posted a student’s complaint that a burrito should not cost $20. Conservative writer Marc Thiessen replied that college students already receive cafeteria burritos through meal plans and should not waste money on outings. JD Vance entered the conversation, tweeting that Thiessen appears to never miss a burrito, a comment that misspelled Thiessen’s name and was highlighted by the Trump campaign as a “banger.”

The feud seems to echo Thiessen’s earlier one outlet's op-ed, which accused Vance of contradicting the president on Iran policy. Vance, who has publicly discussed his recent weight loss, has been praised by Trump for looking thinner, while the administration has previously focused on weight issues among officials. The incident illustrates the personal tone of intra-MAGA disputes on social media.
