Queer, YouTube comic Randy Rainbow posted his latest parody video yesterday. The target of his satire on this occasion is Donald Trump’s running mate: Ohio Senator JD Vance. 

Rainbow skewers Vance by re-writing the show tune “Sadie Sadie” from the Barbra Streisand-starring Funny Girl. Rainbow’s version is, of course, retitled “JD, JD”. 

Rainbow highlights Vance’s alleged use of eyeliner, going from a “never Trumper” to a devotee, his comments on “childless cat ladies”, and his anti-gay stance regarding LGBTQ+ rights. 

Watch below.

The video has enjoyed nearly half a million views on YouTube since it appeared yesterday. It’s also gone viral on X, receiving unexpected praise from a relative of the original song’s co-writer (lyricist Bob Merrill). 

“Hey Randy! My Uncle Bob wrote this song, and he called her “Sadie” because that was my grandma’s name! I can honestly tell you that if they were still here, they would have LOVED this!!!! Xoxo”

JD Vance fails to lift Trump’s campaign

Donald Trump announced at the RNC last month that he’d chosen Vance as his running mate. However, almost immediately, comments Vance made in the past regarding “childless cat ladies” and calling Trump “America’s Hitler” came back to haunt him. 

Vance has not proved a crowd-puller on the campaign trail and has been criticized by some observers for lacking charisma. 

At the time Trump announced Vance as his running mate, he was marginally ahead of Joe Biden in the polls. However, Biden then stepped down and Kamala Harris took his place. She has since seen her popularity surge. A new survey released on Friday showed Harris climbing to a seven-point lead over Trump (50 percent support versus 43 percent). 

The poll was conducted by researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University. It notes that “Trump’s strongest support is among men who hold traditionally masculine identities, while women and other men strongly favor Harris.”

“Trump has built his political career around a very specific performance of whiteness and masculinity,” said Dan Cassino, a professor at Fairleigh Dickinson, and the Executive Director of the poll, in a statement. “In the past, that’s been seen as a strength, but it’s no longer clear that it’s working.”
