Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick Ohio Sen. JD Vance was once a fervent critic of the former president. In private messages, he wondered ahead of Trump’s election whether he was “America’s Hitler” and in 2017 said the then-president was a “moral disaster.” In public, he agreed Trump was a “total fraud” who didn’t care about regular people and called him “reprehensible.”
I don’t believe Vance idolizes him. I think Vance is in this for himself and has no shame.
Exactly. He’s still the same person who thinks Trump is “America’s Hitler”, he just realized he has a lot to gain from being Hitler’s #2.
Didn’t work out great for Himmler
Or for a more contemporary example, see Mike Pence.
Yep.
