JD Vance repeatedly refuses to admit Trump lost in alarming interview

In an interview with The New York Times published Friday, JD Vance refused for nearly two minutes to answer a basic question: Does he think Donald Trump lost the 2020 election?

Reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro asked Vance the question, noting that he did he refused to answer the question during his vice presidential debate with Tim Walz on October 1. Vance’s first response was similar to his response to the debate: He and Donald Trump were focused on the future.

Vance also tried to deflect Garcia-Navarro’s question by claiming that the federal government backed social media censorship of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which cost Donald Trump millions of votes. This conspiracy theory was actually debunked by the Supreme Court in July. Garcia-Navarro pressed Vance again, with Vance again invoking social media censorship.

took six questions that Vance said he would not have voted to certify the results of the presidential election in 2020. Asked if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power, he said “of course,” adding that he believed in “that peaceful transfer of power “. will make Donald Trump the next president of the United States.

“But if there are problems, of course, just like the Democrats protested in 2004, and Donald Trump raised problems in 2020, we’re going to make sure that this election counts, that every legal ballot is counted,” Vance. he continuedadding a giant asterisk to his answer.

Vance seems to give a convoluted answer every time he’s asked about the 2020 election, which doesn’t bode well for next month’s election. At one point, it was chased by a comedian before admitting that he would not have certified the results. It shouldn’t be a surprise, as he also said same thing in February, when he was still auditioning to be Trump’s running mate. Perhaps that’s what sold the former president and convicted felon in selecting Vance.
