Ex-Trump Aide Slams JD Vance For 'Straight Up' Lying About 1 Particular Issue
HuffPost
Alyssa Farah Griffin served as White House communications director under Donald Trump, and is thus well aware of what he did and didn't do while in office.
Alyssa Farah Griffin has joined a growing chorus claiming Sen. JD Vance (R-Oh.) “straight up” lied onstage Tuesday at the vice presidential debate against Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) and, as an aide to former President Donald Trump, would certainly know if he hadn’t.
The “View” co-host and former Trump White House communications director took particular issue with Vance claiming that Trump “salvaged” the Affordable Care Act, the health care policy signed into law by former President Barack Obama in 2010.
“When Obamacare was crushing under the weight of its own regulatory burden and health care costs, Donald Trump could have destroyed the program,” Vance said Tuesday. “Instead, he worked in a bipartisan way to ensure that Americans had access to affordable care.”
“I think you can make a really good argument that it salvaged Obamacare,” he added.
The claim was particularly egregious as repealing Obamacare was a central talking point of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The former president even signed an executive order upon taking office in 2017 to launch the process of rolling the landmark policy back.
