A former classmate of JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, has shared emails and messages from 2014 to 2017 with the New York Times, revealing Vance’s hatred for police and past stance on Donald Trump, whom he called a “morally reprehensible human being.”
In 2014, Vance expressed his hatred for the police after the killing of Michael Brown, stating, “I hate the police. Given the number of negative experiences I’ve had in the past few years, I can’t imagine what a black guy goes through.”
Vance also referred to Trump as a demagogue in 2015, saying, “I’m obviously outraged at Trump’s rhetoric, and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country… But I also think that people have always believed crazy [stuff] and there have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy [stuff].”
In the lead-up to the 2016 election, Vance wrote, “The more white people feel like voting for Trump, the more black people will suffer. I really believe that,” and later called Trump “a bad man. A morally reprehensible human being.”
Vance’s classmate, Sofia Nelson, shared the messages to “inform the opinion of voters about Mr. Vance.” Vance has since changed his stance on Trump, admitting he was wrong and now supports him as a “great president.”

If Trump was smart he’d drop Vance ASAP and get someone with a more conservative track record.
STOP TRYING TO HARM THE JEWISH COMMUNITY WITH THESE ARTICLES!!!
This is what real Trump derangement syndrome looks like.
Speak common sense at first.
Realize that the only way to get ahead in the republican party is to kiss his backside, and then he starts to spout drivel about how great this fool is.
What an honorable man.
Who cares what he said 10 years ago. JD Vance said at the RNC that back in 2016 he was unfortunately swayed and influenced by the media’s negative rhetoric re Donald Trump. For many years now he’s been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump. The Democrats will relentlessly pursue and with the media’s enthusiastic assistance try to eviscerate JD Vance’s character. This is a tactic, remember Brett Kavanaugh? My advice is to ignore all the nuisance news, wait for the live debates and come November vote for the candidates that best reflect your own vision for the next four years and beyond!
philosopher – who do you think he should choose? And why do you think he chose Vance in the first place? And why does Trump have so much trouble in finding good people to hire and keep?
So dumb! This is news?
Drum up whatever dirt each politician said flung at his/her rival during primaries and compare it to what they say after the winner is chosen (and they lost).
Now drum up whatever the Obamas ever said about Kamala Harris.
And when she chooses a running mate, drum up whatever he or she said about Kackling Kamala. Bottom line – once the competition is over they’ll tow the party line.
But you can bet your bottom dollar that the old hag NYT Gray Lady that printed this garbage won’t report Democratic Dirt. Only Republican Refuse is fit to print.
Philosopher, if you are implying that Trump is not smart, I agree.
Who cares about what he thought 10 years ago
So, if you take the time to read what he wrote, you would realize that those emails are totally irrelevant to today.
The guy is 39 years old. These stories happened when he wasn’t yet 30! Come on! How ridiculously petty must we get?
Trump is a doer and good for America and Israel
Having said that, he has a very poor track record in choosing people to work for him
Pence
Wray
JD Vance
And the list goes on
Listen to Berish this is really not helpful! Trump is the only ohev Yisroel in the race and Vance is his choice. Period. Klal Yisroel is in a great sakono what don’t you understand
Vance is like many former anti-Trumpers – even liberals, who now publically admit to changing their mind – even Ben Shapiro. Despite disliking Trump’s crude personality and offensive remarks, his important accomplishments as President warrant taking another look – especially considering the damage that the Democrats have done and would do if they are not stopped. It’s not as if the left, the media, and the academics are all tzaddikim. It boils down to choosing wisely between sides that are both significantly flawed.
