Customs and Border Protection has confirmed that, no, agents did not stop a Norwegian traveler who showed them a meme of a bald Vice President JD Vance.
“Fact Check: FALSE,” the CBP wrote on X. “Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”
And no, the agency is not referring to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, but rather the similarly named 21-year-old who was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11.
The exact meme in case anyone wants to avoid it for um… Legal purposes.
I read your username as ChinWeasel and thought heh, username checks out oddly enough.
Under no circumstances should you share this image. We must send this to everyone we know to be absolutely certain all our friends and family know about this so they don’t unknowingly have it on their phone. It’s our patriotic duty to share this with as many people as possible.
I do in fact want to “avoid it” for legal purposes.
Why are you all calling it a meme? It’s literally his real face
MSNBC’s report on it is on YouTube, plenty of people in the comments replaced their profile pictures with various versions of the meme and had a lot of fun with it.
