J.D. Vance Once Liked Tweets Highly Critical of Trump

“Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), a leading candidate to be Donald Trump’s vice president, liked tweets in 2016 and 2017 that harshly criticized Trump and his policies — including one speculating that Vance could serve in former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s administration,” CNN reports.

“Other tweets liked by Vance said Trump committed ‘serial sexual assault,’ called him ‘one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs,’ and, in a since-removed set of tweets, harshly criticized Trump’s response to the deadly 2017 White nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia – something Vance now defends Trump over.”

“Vance’s past anti-Trump stances have been well-documented, but these new examples, unearthed by an extensive review of Vance’s past social media activity, demonstrate they were more widespread and scathing than previously known.”
