Trump was wrong. Why Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance didn't deserve his endorsement.
The U.S. cannot expect to lead the free world by electing leaders like J.D. Vance who believe that genocide is a 'massive distraction.'
Former President Donald Trump on April 15 endorsed J.D. Vance in Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary in Ohio, a decision that raised concerns from many America-firsters since he previously called Trump “a total fraud” and described some of his supporters as “racist.”
Vance has since reversed his position and called Trump the best president of his lifetime.
As a former Trump administration official, I am less concerned with these statements and more concerned with Vance’s actual political positions because they are inconsistent with the foreign policies of the former president, the Republican Party’s Senate leadership and the United States.
In February, while the world watched Russia amass 190,000 troops along its border with Ukraine, Vance casually admitted, “I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.”
