A new investigation by CNN’s KFile team reveals that Trump VP hopeful and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance liked tweets calling the man he hopes to serve under “douchey,” accusing him of “serial sexual assault,” and even expressing an interest in working under his then-rival, Hillary Clinton.
Senator Vance is one of Donald Trump’s most effusive allies in Congress now, even earning himself a spot on Trump’s shortlist to be his running mate.
But this alliance is still a relatively new one. Back in 2016, he called himself a “Never Trump guy” and called Trump “reprehensible” and an “idiot.” In text messages to a friend, Vance even compared the Republican nominee to Adolf Hitler. Vance has since backpedaled, even designing his entire Senate campaign in 2022 — successfully — around securing Trump’s endorsement, rather than appealing directly to voters. But the KFILE investigation reveals that Vance’s disdain for Trump was even more pronounced than has been previously known.
From the KFILE report:
In February 2016, Vance liked a tweet featuring a photo of Trump, two women and O.J. Simpson with the caption, “Here is an old picture of one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs. Also in picture: OJ Simpson.”
Vance also liked tweets from August 2016 that praised his book and envisioned a role for him in a potential Clinton administration and another tweet suggesting he could provide Clinton with the “seeds to a plan to defeat Trump.” But Vance soon began liking several tweets with the hashtag #NeverHillary through October 2016.
While promoting his memoir and appearing on news programs in 2016, Vance liked a series of tweets calling then-candidate Trump a “monster” and a “nemesis of the GOP.” He also liked a tweet acknowledging “threats and derogatory terms Trump supporters hurl at Jews.” He even liked a tweet from CNN anchor Jake Tapper criticizing Trump’s tweet about a woman’s appearance amidst then-first lady Melania Trump’s campaign against cyberbullying
Among the other notable tweets that [Vance] liked were ones that “Does any dad (or future dad) want to look his daughter in the eye and explain why he voted for Trump instead of 1st woman president?” and “Maybe the Central Park 5 could take out a full-page ad to condemn the coddling of thug real estate barons who commit serial sexual assault.”
The new revelations about Vance’s hatred for Trump — and affinity for Clinton — could hurt his stock in the veepstakes. But then again, his transformation goes to show just how submissive a partner Vance might make for on the ticket.
Yesterday the media was telling us how “scared” the RATs are of Rubio. Obviously, they would like that pick.
Today we hear how bad Vance is.
Kind of seems they are trying to steer us in directions they would like to have happen.
good point
I think Nitzy was *admitting* that he/she ‘got better’ in their thinking. Your post is mean spirited and unnecessary.
Trump was the ONLY Major Canidate in 2016 saying what we believe about globalism.

Yes. Palin.
“In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic.”
So what?
I failed to see the /s
Thank you! The MSM and the McCain staff, e.g., Nicole Wallace, destroyed Palin. Sad to know that so many on this forum fell for their lies. She would’ve been an excellent VP.
Seems the most biting criticism of her is that she resigned as governor. They’ve got to do better than that. Who here wouldn’t resign from a job to serve their country?
It was a mistake post, I don’t how but I thought your post said ‘Trump was never a democrat’, post 74 came close to saying it but didn’t.
Sorry, it was a strange mistake on my part.
There wasn’t any.
Yet, that never came up in the campaign.
Absolutely Navarro.
A guest on War Room laid out a convincing argument why PN should be the VP pick. That was a few weeks ago, and I am not able to find anything about it online. It sounded like a great idea at the time.
“He (Nunes) doesn’t seem to have been super-successful growing Truth Social.”
His effectiveness, or lack thereof, re Truth Social shouldn’t be a consideration for VP. His work in Congress should be his resume, and that was excellent. I can still see his face — white was a sheet — after he was able to see the confidential evidence about Hillary’s Russian Collision hoax.
I don’t know the poster hon
I’ll try to be nice
“The amazing thing about that is that Sarah Palin took on the oil companies and won.”
And that’s no small thing. I worked for Alyeska Pipeline during the Pipeline boom in the ‘70s, and all the oil companies there were omnipotent. They totally ruled. She’s a tough cookie and the country (and Trump) would benefit from that.
Her resignation as Governor is also the only time that I have ever seen 32 months rounded off universally by 100% of the media to 2 years.
It’s magical, right? 🙄
