The article explores the rise of JD Vance memes amid Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, highlighting the absurdity and creativity in their portrayal. These memes have gained international attention, especially after an incident involving actor Mads Mikkelsen, who was reportedly denied entry to the U.S. due to possessing a Vance meme, sparking discussions about censorship and extremism. While the U.S. Department of Homeland Security denied the claims about Mikkelsen's reaction to the meme, the event underscores the cultural impact of social media and memes in today's political environment.
On June 11, Mads Mikkelsen said he was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport because CBP found the bald, baby-faced Vance meme on his phone and considered it "extremist propaganda."
Regardless of what really happened, the story itself means the meme has now officially gone international, which is fun.
Claims that Mads Mikkelsen was denied entry because of a JD Vance meme are false, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
