Fox Host Confronts J.D. Vance With Awkward List Of His Most Vehement Anti-Trump Swipes
HuffPost
Bret Baier noted that the Ohio senator once said Trump could be "America's Hitler," among other criticisms.
Fox News host Bret Baier on Tuesday listed off some of the harshest things that Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) has said about Donald Trump, and asked the senator about his supposed “evolution” on the former president.
Vance, reportedly a contender to be Trump’s 2024 vice presidential pick, was once fiercely critical of the former president, but reinvented himself as a staunch Trump ally, ultimately nabbing Trump’s endorsement during his 2022 Senate campaign.
“You’ve said: ‘I’m a never-Trump guy,’ ‘never liked him,’ ‘terrible candidate,’ ‘idiot if you voted for him,’ ‘might be America’s Hitler,’ ‘might be a cynical a-hole,’ ‘cultural heroin,’ ‘noxious’ and ‘reprehensible,’” Baier pointed out.
Baier told Vance that “the left” could seize on those comments, “and they’re probably gonna be put in ads, should you be chosen as the VP pick.”
“How do you deal with them now?” he asked.
