J.D. Vance’s Private Texts Leaked

Private text messages shared by a right-wing blogger show how Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) entertained conspiracy theories and scorned the late Sheldon Adelson, the Washington Post reports.

“Their correspondence over the next 20 months — extending into the weeks before former president Donald Trump picked Vance as his running mate — offers a glimpse of the Republican vice-presidential nominee’s off-the-cuff musings, often matching his public expressions but voiced with much less polish. Vance was just as casual in discussing America’s foreign alliances as he was in evaluating his own private alliances with the GOP’s moneyed class.”
