Senator J.D. Vance is openly embracing the idea of a coup in a pathetic bid to become Donald Trump’s vice president.
Senator J.D. Vance has essentially admitted he would have carried out a coup during the 2020 election if he could have, in a bald-faced attempt to be chosen as Donald Trump’s running mate.
The Ohio Republican has been floated alongside Representative Elise Stefanik as a possible Trump vice presidential pick. And in an effort to outdo his reported competition, Vance gave a full-throated defense of autocracy during an interview with ABC on Sunday.
When asked if, had he been vice president in 2020, he would have certified the election results, Vance said he would have done things a little differently.
“If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors, and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there,” Vance said, referring to the fake pro-Trump electors that some states’ Republicans tried to send to Washington.
“That is the legitimate way to deal with an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems in 2020. I think that’s what we should have done.”
A group of people tried to overthrow the government and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power in order to install their leader as president. Those people could be accurately described as enemies of the nation. Senator Vance here is saying that, if he had had the opportunity, he would have seen that those people were successful. Vance has sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Isn’t this giving aid and comfort to the nation’s enemies? That pretty much meets the definition of treason if so.
Treason is a stretch. Seditious conspiracy? 100%
Yeah that’s a pretty cut and dry example of the same law they’re using to bury Trump.
And should be burying Vance, MTG, Bobert, Gaetz etc. at the same time.
