Can't wait for the slaughter of Russian dirtbags in the USA once Trump is
defeated and behind bars where he belongs.

JD Vance repeatedly indicated in 2016 that he believed Donald Trump had
committed sexual assault

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, repeatedly
indicated in 2016 that he believed Donald Trump had committed sexual
assault, even suggesting in one TV segment that in a �he said, she said�
situation Trump was less credible than one of his accusers.

Vance appeared on a MSNBC segment in October 2016 on Trump�s alleged
sexual misconduct in which an interview with Jessica Leeds, a former
salesperson who accused Trump of groping and forcibly kissing her during
a flight in the 1970s, was played. Vance said it was hard to believe
Trump�s denials over Leeds.

�At a fundamental level, this is sort of a �he said, she said,� right?
And at the end of the day, do you believe Donald Trump, who always tells
the truth? Just kidding,� said Vance sarcastically. �Or do you believe
that woman on that tape?� he said, referring to Leeds.

But by May 2023, in a sign of his shift on Trump from open critic to
fiercely loyal surrogate, Vance�s position changed entirely while
invoking similar language: Vance said he believed his �friend� Trump,
just after the former president was found liable by a jury for sexual
abuse against author E. Jean Carroll.

�I think fundamentally the lawsuit is about something that happened 25
years ago. It�s a �he said, she said� situation. And I trust my friend
and the guy that I�ve known and gotten to know,� the Ohio Republican told
CNN�s Wolf Blitzer, about six months after winning his US Senate race
with Trump�s endorsement.

Vance then suggested that the lawsuit, and the people funding it, was not
about justice but about politics. �They are trying to take him down for
political reasons. That, to me, is not about justice, that�s not about
discovering the truth. That�s about using the legal system instead of the
political system to win a debate against Donald Trump.�

A spokesperson for Vance told CNN, �JD�s tweets and comments about
President Trump from nearly a decade ago are old news that have been
addressed numerous times since he entered the political world. They don�t
reflect his views on President Trump today and haven�t for many years.�

Trump has repeatedly denied claims of sexual assault.
Repeatedly indicated he thought Trump committed sexual assault

Vance�s defense of Trump marked a striking shift from his remarks in 2016
in the wake of the leak of the �Access Hollywood� tape, which showed the
Republican presidential candidate making lewd and sexually aggressive
remarks about women.

In October 2016, Vance tweeted, �What percentage of the American
population has @realDonaldTrump sexually assaulted?�

The tweet, which was first reported in 2018, was later deleted, but its
replies still exist on the platform, and the tweet was later compiled in
an opposition report published by his own super PAC in 2022 to uncover
his potential vulnerabilities as a candidate.

In deleted likes from his Twitter account, reviewed by CNN, Vance had
also indicated he believed Trump�s accusers and those who criticized
Trump as a �serial sexual assault[er].�

�Maybe the Central Park 5 could take out a full-page ad to condemn the
coddling of thug real estate barons who commit serial sexual assault,�
read the post, again posted just after the �Access Hollywood� tape
surfaced.

Another post liked in 2016 by Vance said, �I wish there was a 2nd Vice
Presidential debate just to see @GovPenceIN deny that Trump said he
grabbed p*ssy.�
