Senator J.D. Vance's Fascist Flirtation: A Yale Grad's Descent

Ohio Senator JD Vance still insists there is evidence of voter fraud in 2020

J.D. Vance is the hack author of “Hillbilly Elegy”

On ABC News, J. D. Vance, the Yale educated hedge fund manager turned Republican Senator from Ohio, still insisted that there was voter fraud in 2020, even though 60 Republican lawsuits failed to provide a shred of evidence.

Donald Trump's head of Homeland Security's election integrity office, Chris Krebs, called the 2020 presidential election, “the cleanest in American history.”

While Trump was screaming “election fraud” the night he lost, Krebs issued a statement from Homeland Security saying, “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” So, Trump fired him immediately.

But, Senator J. D. Vance, who is auditioning for the role of Trump's Vice President, told ABC News that if he, instead of Mike Pence, had been presiding over Congress on January 6, he would have permitted competing slates of electors. In other words, Vance endorsed the unconstitutional and illegal false electors scheme.

Vance added that Trump, as President, is free to ignore “illegitimate Supreme Court decisions.”

This is not the first time Vance suggested Trump should disobey the court.

Two years ago, Vance said when Trump returns to the White House, he should, “fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people.”

Vance admitted that our Supreme Court would block Trump from doing that. So, he advised Trump to take a page from Andrew Jackson’s playbook.

Jackson, Trump’s favorite President, reportedly told the Supreme Court that when it ruled against him, “The chief justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.”

Vance was saying Trump should pull an Andrew Jackson— to hell with the court.

What Senator, J.D. Vance, Yale graduate, omitted is that nobody's certain Andrew Jackson actually did say that.

Regardless, the quote gained traction because it sums up precisely who Jackson was, and what he did to the Cherokee people.

The Supreme Court ruled against Jackson, and the state of Georgia, for uprooting the Cherokee people and relocating them to Oklahoma. This is remembered as The Trail of Tears. It was the United States stealing land for itself.

That is what Vance celebrated when he evoked Andrew Jackson’s challenge to the court. He was celebrating Trump's favorite President for ethnically cleansing the Cherokee people.

Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act, signed in 1830, lasted 20 years. It wiped out an entire indigenous population, despite the court telling him it was against the law.

Vance says Trump should be more like Jackson.

That is what a Yale education gets you - being perfectly fine with genocide.
