JD Vance's old post resurfaces implying Trump made wife Usha's family feel 'unsafe'
An anti-Trump post shared by U.S. Vice President JD Vance in 2009 has resurfaced showing his massive political U-turn over the course of his marriage to his wife from an immigrant background.
An anti-Trump post shared by U.S. Vice President JD Vance in 2009 has resurfaced - shedding light on his relationship with his wife from an immigrant background and his massive political U-turn since then, leaving him open to charges of hypocrisy by his critics.
Vance's political journey has taken him from being raised by his Democrat-supporting grandparents, being committed to "Never Trump" during the 2016 election where he even reportedly toyed with voting for Hillary Clinton.
Although she was born in California, his wife, Usha Vance is from an Indian-American immigrant background and was a registered Democrat voter until 2014, and they have openly argued and fought about some decisions Vance has made in the past.
Since 2016, Vance's position has shifted considerably, becoming an outspoken "America First" Trump loyalist until being elected in 2024 as a Republican and rewarded with his present role in the administration, where he has been outspoken in his support for ICE deportations of migrants.
Via the social media platform Twitter, as it was then known and X as it is now, Vance posted the following statement in October 2009.
"Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us."
Vance's contentious post resurfaced from an X post by Jamie Bonkiewicz alongside the caption, "This was before J.D. Vance's full moral collapse."
In response, users took to the platform to express their feelings, with many pointing out the hypocrisy of Vance now supporting every decision made by Trump.
However, this is arguably not even the most damning of Vance's old posts to resurface in recent weeks.
A post he made on X back in 2021 has also reemerged. Referring to Epstein, he wrote: "Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it."
