What’s True
Vance was indeed given the name James Donald Bowman at birth, after his biological father …
What’s False
… but, officially, he has only changed his name twice, not three times. The first name change was the result of his adoption by his stepfather. The second name change was one he requested as he was about to graduate from Yale Law School, a year before he got married.
There are so many reasons to hate JD Vance, but changing his name to match the name of the person who raised him is not one of them.
This has nothing to do with hating him, just pointing out his hypocrisy when it comes to someone choosing their own name.
That’s more than fair, and I should have thought of that!
