Reminder: Trump and Vance’s ally said “there’s just no daylight” between them
As JD Vance takes to the podium tonight at the RNC Midterm Convention, he will defend the historically unpopular Trump-Vance agenda that has spiked prices and made life unaffordable for everyday Americans. Vance has been Donald Trump’s right-hand man, working tirelessly to defend Trump’s reckless trade war and deadly and costly war with Iran, even as Americans express outrage over their agenda.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
“JD Vance has been Donald Trump’s most loyal puppet, working in lockstep to enact an agenda that has hiked prices and made life unaffordable for working families. Vance has defended even their most disastrous policies, proving his loyalty to Trump over the American people. Vance will continue to gaslight Americans, but voters know the truth: Trump and Vance have tanked the economy, plunged the country into more endless wars, and failed to make life more affordable for everyday Americans.”
Vance has defended Trump every time he’s disregarded Americans’ financial concerns, like telling them that high prices at the pump are “not a big price to pay,” and declaring, “I love the inflation.”
Vance became the chief dealmaker of his and Trump’s war with Iran — and after more than six months of the war, the administration is no closer to reaching a deal to end the war. After Trump and Vance started their war with Iran, Vance flipped on his anti-interventionist views, after assuring voters on the campaign trail, “our interest very much is in not going to war with Iran. It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country.”
As Trump’s so-called “fraud czar,” Vance has buried his head in the sand as Trump profits off the presidency and engages in rampant pay-to-play politics to enrich himself and his family to the tune of billions.
