J.D. Vance Offers Wild Defense Of Trump's Biden Revenge Plan: 'Totally Reasonable'
HuffPost
NBC's Kristen Welker sparred with Vance over whether he'd back Trump appointing a special prosecutor to "go after" the president.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) backed Donald Trump when asked about the former president’s claim that he’d “go after” Joe Biden and his family should he defeat the president in the election.
Vance ― in an appearance on Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press” ― told host Kristen Welker that media outlets and Democrats have “lost their minds” over the quote from Trump, who vowed in June to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Biden “crime family.”
“Donald Trump is talking about appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden for wrongdoing,” said Vance, who is reportedly a potential running mate for the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
He continued by claiming that Biden has “done exactly that for the last few years,” accusing him of engaging in a “campaign of lawfare against his political opposition.”
“So I think Donald Trump’s saying, ‘look, let’s do the basic work of investigating wrongdoing,’ is a totally reasonable thing for him to do. And frankly, the Biden administration has done far worse,” said Vance, who didn’t provide evidence of Biden conducting moves in the Justice Department.
