Jose Padila was convicted on attempted terrorism charges during the Bush Administration. JD Vance knows Alex Padilla as they served together in the Senate. This was both an attempt to nake him look like a domestic terrorist as well as a clear racial slur.
Sadly JD Vance doesn't care and he will not apologize.
