OPINION: 'Vance is smarter and more disciplined than Trump, capable of fooling voters into believing he’s a normal guy with normal conservative beliefs. He’s neither,' writes columnist Brent Larkin.
CLEVELAND -- There’s something deeply disturbing about J.D. Vance, things that should bother any clear-thinking person who genuinely cares about the country.between Vance and Rep. Tim Ryan reaffirmed that impression. One came during a discussion of the violent invasion of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The other during a back-and-forth about the 2012 massacre of 20 young children and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
most being held in prison had not yet been charged for their role in attempting to overturn Joe Biden’s legitimate election as president.
Vance has a history of using terms like “sham” and “assault on democracy” to describe the House select committee and law enforcement investigations of Jan. 6. For the first time in the nation’s history, a sitting president incited a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election. Rioters were chanting “Hang Mike Pence.” A police officer died. Dozens of others were injured. But Vance’s decidedly un-American concern seems to have been for the perpetrators.
Worse, consider what Vance said Sept. 20, 2021, two weeks after tweeting the bald-faced lie that Alex Jones told the truth more than Rachel Maddow. On a conservative podcast called “Moment of Truth,” Vance, “One of the things that I saw in the reaction to that tweet was people are terrified of unconventional people, of people who don’t think the thoughts that they’re supposed to think. And that, to me, is like the opposite of what you would want in an elite.
