JD Vance got a former professor to delete a blog post Vance wrote in 2012 attacking GOP over anti-immigrant rhetoric
A week after President Barack Obama won reelection in November 2012, JD Vance, then a law student at Yale, wrote a scathing rebuke of the Republican Party in which he criticized it for being “openly hostile to non-whites” and for alienating “Blacks, Latinos, [and] the youth.”
Makes it very clear that Vance knows that what his doing is evil, but he's weird enough to decide to do it anyways.
“The reason that I changed my mind on Donald Trump is actually perfectly highlighted by what’s going on in Springfield,” Vance said. “Because the media and the Kamala Harris campaign, they’ve been calling the residents of Springfield racist, they’ve been lying about them. They’ve been saying that they make up these reports of migrants eating geese, and they completely ignore the public health disaster that is unfolding in Springfield at this very minute. You know who hasn’t ignored it? Donald Trump.”
ho-ly shit. I don't even know how to react anymore.
As a Canadian, hearing about poor people supposedly eating dogs and cats, now geese, it makes me wonder where the fuck are the social programs in America that help people who've been beat to shit enough that they would stoop to eating any passing animal?
Weirdly enough, it's the rich folks who are eating roadkill and getting brain worms
Not to say that the social programs are flourishing or anything, but it's worth noting that the tales of people eating dogs and cats in Springfield have been debunked and are unfounded rumors being perpetuated by Trump/Vance on a national stage.
Bro you have been a senator from Ohio for years now and you only mentioned this issue like a week ago.
Shut the fuck up.
Vance, once again, nailed by the way back machine of the Internet archives. Rarely is anything ever really gone. Except for text messages between Secret Service agents on January 6.
Dammit. I hadn't forgotten, but I hadn't thought of that in a while either. Fucking hell.
Its called an opportunist. They are fairweather fans that blow wherever the breeze takes them and hold no views or convictions of their own. They are the spineless chaffe that makes up most of a fascism shake.
JD Vance has shown he is nothing but a liar. Can we cancel him and move on?
I plan to do exactly that, at the ballot box.
He's ever beem anything other rhan a slippery weasel that wants to be adjacent to power. He just got really popular 8 years ago because his book about how much he hates his mom told liberals in the suburbs it's ok to hate poor rural people for being rednecks.
Nelson told CNN that during the 2016 Republican primary he agreed to delete the article at Vance’s request, so that Vance might have an easier time getting a job in Republican politics
And here I was hoping it was recent and he paid the guy to remove it and then doesn't report it becomes an illegal campaign contribution.
I appreciate that you’re signal boosting “weird” but I think this is full-on “shitty”.
Oh, the ol’ reach-around, eh?
We learn more about Vance everyday…
As much as it fills me with joy to see fascists like JD Vance get mauled by their own past words, I hate how much this will be propped up as an argument against him today.
I think we can all agree that people change their minds, whether it be from propaganda, malicious intent, or genuine education, so the only thing he has to do to escape this line of attack is just say "my opinions changed."
I'm sure that to a degree, he still believes what he originally wrote, but has simply repressed it in favor of being able to do less thinking about his political positions, and garner more public attention and power.
