Vance

Minnesota's governor, like Vance, grew up in a small town but unlike Vance he knows why they work

What Vance said about Trump eight years ago

Yahoo News -  In 2022, then-Senate candidate J.D. Vance sat down with Aimee Terese — a pundit and podcaster little known to the American public, but prominent in the sloppy trenches of hyper-online digital reactionaries — and removed his filter. “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally,” Vance said in the episode, explaining why regulating abortion at the state level wouldn’t work. “Let’s say Roe v. Wade is overruled,” he said. “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity.” It wasn’t the only time that Vance would express support for a national abortion ban: Later that year, he characterized a 15-week national abortion ban proposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham as “totally reasonable.”
