Video of Caitlin Upton from 2007 used by Vance to mock Kamala Harris drove the young woman to consider suicide
A former Miss Teen USA contestant who drew widespread mockery because of a stuttering response to a question that she fielded at the 2007 competition has said it is “a shame” – as well as condemned “online bullying” – after JD Vance recirculated a video of her difficult moment to attack Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile, the Republican nominee for vice-president in November’s election has ruled out apologizing to Caitlin Upton, who has spoken openly about how she previously contemplated suicide at the height of the ordeal revived by Vance.
