Vance, Given 5 Chances to Say Trump Lost in 2020, Takes None

Heading into the final three weeks of the 2024 election, Senator JD Vance of Ohio will still not say whether his running mate won or lost the last race for the White House.

In an interview with The New York Times that will be published on Saturday, Mr. Vance repeatedly refused to acknowledge former President Donald J. Trump’s defeat and went to even greater lengths to avoid doing so than he did during the vice-presidential debate earlier this month.

When asked about the previous election during an hourlong interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a host of “The Interview,” a Times podcast published each Saturday, the Republican vice-presidential nominee responded that he was “focused on the future.” It was the same phrase he used to evade the same question during his debate with his Democratic rival, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota.

“There’s an obsession here with focusing on 2020,” Mr. Vance said in the interview. “I’m much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide-open border, groceries that are unaffordable.”

When pressed a second time, Mr. Vance pivoted to a complicated counterargument: He suggested Mr. Trump would have won more votes in 2020 had social media companies not limited posts about a New York Post story about the contents of a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son. Trump allies had maintained that documents on the laptop linked President Biden to corrupt business dealings, but those claims were unfounded.

“Senator Vance, I’m going to ask you again,” Ms. Garcia-Navarro said. “Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?”

The mere fact that this is so important to them is an admission that they, like North Vietnamese interrogators in the Hanoi Hilton, are looking for false confirmation to legitimize their lies.

The 2020 Theft Saved This Country

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/10/the_2020_theft_saved_this_country.html

Look at the new coalitions being formed this very moment. Minorities and the working class are embracing Trump like never before. Those who were once enemies have joined hands because their eyes have been opened by the results of this stolen election. It is truly a glorious thing.

47 will be orders of magnitude more impactful and successful than second-term 45 would have ever been! Here and across the globe.

I laugh every time I think of that. Second-term 45 would have been successful, but 47 will be that on jet fuel. The impact Trump and his administration will have will exceed any before him. This is one of the reasons they want to kill him. And Trump isn’t the end; he’s just the beginning. This is a generational transformation that is just starting and it is now unstoppable.

So, thanks for a stolen election. Whether it’s “what goes around, comes around” or FAFO, this administration and its stolen election have sealed their fate — and it is not a pretty one. Sometimes, what seems to be a loss turns out to be a win.

Thank you, God!

The guys on RAV’s Studio 6B were just discussing the above article, which incredibly argues that the 2020 theft needed to happen in order to expose the myriad corruption and was a blessing in disguise.

But, what a Hell of a price to pay!!!

Good for Vance for not allowing himself to be baited.

Good point.

JD Vance to NYT: “There are four lights!”

[lurk]

The left loves to extract that confession, or be burned at the stake. Almost like they’re insecure about it.

[cdcdawg]

They “doth protest too much” so to speak.

Because most of the justices have loyalties to a dark side.

I wish Vance would just answer: “No, Trump didn’t lose in 2020 - it was rigged six ways from Sunday.”

I don’t see why avoiding the question helps anything - Trump comes right out and says it was stolen - why can’t Vance?

I guess they are using Vance to appeal to independents and “moderates” who think Trump’s policies are better but are turned off by so-called “conspiracy theory”.

The NYTs was given thousands of chances to tell the truth and be non partisan — and takes none of them.

Trump received 10 million more votes running for reelection than he did when he was elected. That should’ve been more than enough to be reelected. But the idiot Biden received an astronomical number of votes. More than Obama received in either of his elections. Impossible. More than Hillary received in her defeat which was 3 million more votes than Trump got. Obama was the first president running for reelection to ever receive fewer votes than he received when he was elected. By contrast, Trump received 10 million more votes. Something was very wrong with the 2020 election. There were no investigations and no courts heard the challenges on the merits.

So I guess that's why groceries still cost so much more and wars are breaking out.

What I’m waiting for is, the next time a so-called journalist, or Harris herself asks either Trump or Vance if they will accept the results of the election, for Trump or Vance to shoot back, ARE YOU?
