J.D. Vance delivered a rally speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania with a backdrop that made it appear he was campaigning for his arch nemesis, Kamala Harris.

The unfortunate signage appeared to stem from the event’s advance team not accounting for its crowd blocking half of a gigantic poster that sat directly behind Vance, which appeared to read in full, “KAMALA CHAOS.”

For those watching on Fox News and other broadcasts, however, the only words clearly visible—in white text on a blue background, in all caps—was simply “Kamala.”

The apparent gaffe quickly went viral on X, where many joked that Harris’ VP choice in Tim Walz, which was announced just prior to Vance’s rally speech, had convinced Trump’s running mate to switch teams.

      You know there’s few when they have to call everyone up around the speaker.

      Yeah, where is all the talk about rally sizes from the right? Awful quiet.

        Remember how they were just so sure that little-t was going to win, because…rabid little-t fans were…more enthusiastic and Biden was…campaigning from his basement or whatever? It’s still one person, one vote, not like some kind of applause-o-meter is counting the votes…

        These same people of course pointed at barking seals at little-t’s Nuremberg Rallies, oops, I mean, riling up the rubes in flyover country as some kind of evidence that the election was “stolen”.
