J.D. Vance has yet to live down his embarrassing flip-flop on Donald Trump — or the ex-president's derision that followed it. (via MaddowBlog)
Last night, the contenders met for a second debate, and Trump’s remark continued to haunt his ally. NBC NewsOne of the moderators, longtime Youngstown political journalist Bertram de Souza, referred to how Ryan had branded Vance at the previous debate as Trump’s “a-- kisser.” ... Trump “told a joke at a rally based on a false New York Times story, and Tim Ryan has decided to run his entire campaign on it,” Vance said before he tried to land another Pelosi punch.
With this in mind, it didn’t come as too big of a surprise to see Ryan continue to exploit this last night. “You were calling Trump America’s Hitler,” the lawmaker. “Then you kissed his ass. And then he endorsed you. And you said he’s the greatest president of all time.” Ryan added, “What do you think they want for that? They want your loyalty. You prove that you’ll kiss their ass too. ... If you think you’re going to help Ohio, [and] you’re not, if you can’t even stand up for yourself.”
NBC News’ report added that the back-and-forth went on for nearly 10 minutes, with Vance trying to argue that Ryan has voted with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “J.D., you keep talking about Nancy Pelosi,” Ryan said. “If you want to run against Nancy Pelosi, move back to San Francisco and run against Nancy Pelosi.”
