Republican VP pick J.D. Vance is a formerly thoughtful intellectual who grew a beard, lost a spine, and is now running alongside a man he once compared to Hitler
Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance speaks with media gathered outside the Park Diner on July 28, in St Cloud, Minn..One can know almost nothing about J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s pick for vice-president in the upcoming U.S. election, and know everything about J.D. Vance at the same time.
He wrote a book eight years ago that took on the taboo topic of “learned helplessness” among the white working class, and offered some hard truths about the confluence of factors that keep American “hillbillies” poor. He now blames illegal immigration and the political elite for their woes, a shift so transparently craven and opportunistic that I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Vance himself is blushing under that beard.
“It’s just a basic fact – you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC – the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Mr. Vance said. “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”” of this particular Republican ticket: Here’s a formerly thoughtful intellectual who grew a beard, lost a spine, and is now running alongside a man he once compared to Adolf Hitler.
