Former U.S. President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate on July 15. The 39-year-old conservative, whose fame ballooned after the publication of his 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," was announced as Trump's pick for vice president on ...

Vance is one of Trump's most vocal supporters and an outspoken critic of U.S. aid to Ukraine.

Vance has said that it would be "completely irresponsible" for Ukraine to join NATO. He has also argued for the U.S. to focus solely on preventing Chinese expansion, even if that means sacrificing sovereign Ukrainian lands to Russia.

"Any peace settlement is going to require some significant territorial concessions from Ukraine, and you're gonna have a peace deal, because that's the only way out of the conflict," Vance said in February.

Though your misinformation campaign is off to a VERY good start, I’m afraid that it bodes badly for anyone taking you seriously enough to consider anything you say as resembling a point, let alone a good one.
My favorite was when you tried to say that Pelosi and Schiff demanded that Biden step down, and when I proved you wrong with direct quotes-
You ran away.
- I didnt think I ever said anything about Schiff or Pelosi, and after going over my history I was right. If you have not caught on I could not care less what someone else thinks of me.
  
  Ahhhh… right. That wasn’t you. I get you all confused. Same message, same….
  Anyway-
  It was you though, that admitted you were here to disrupt an election. Haven’t forgotten that part.
  And it’s just as stupid.
  
  The disrupting election bullshit is your terminology. I'm simply telling people they don't have to vote for a fascist. They should feel entitled to vote who they want to see in government. They should not feel trapped into a duopoly that does not represent their interests
  
  Oh come on now… don’t try and paint over it. What you said was:
  I actively encourage anyone to withhold a vote from Trump or Biden
  Actively- Encourage.
  You are urging people to NOT to vote.
  THAT IS DISRUPTING AN ELECTION.
