Pete Buttigieg Takes Down JD Vance's VP Hopes In 1 'Exact' Way
HuffPost
The Transportation secretary ripped the Ohio senator over the "way he gets ahead" in his political career.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg knocked Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Friday, likening his journey becoming former President Donald Trump’s running mate to the path former Vice President Mike Pence took to be veep.
“Behind the scenes, apparently, he’s actually calling him Hitler, right? Seriously. Five years later, the way he gets ahead is that he’s the greatest guy since sliced bread,” Buttigieg said of Vance on an episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
“And I actually watched this exact same process with somebody else I got to know in my days in the Midwest which was my former governor Mike Pence...”
Buttigieg — who noted that people like Vance say whatever they need to in order to “get ahead” — said the Ohio senator used to be an anti-Trump Republican who described the former president as “unfit” and “cynical.”
He added that Pence started out as an evangelical Christian who cared about “rectitude and family values.”
