J.D. Vance Caught on Video Telling Far-Right Group Alex Jones Is Right

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance once gave a strange defense of disgraced conspiracy theorist Alex Jones during an event held by a shadowy dark money–backed conservative network, according to video obtained by ProPublica.

In 2021, when Vance had just entered the race to replace Ohio Senator Rob Portman, he spoke at a closed-door event hosted by the secretive Teneo Network, an organization backed by conservative billionaire Leonard Leo.




Leo, who is the co-chairman of the Federalist Society, and single-handedly responsible for installing the conservative majority in the U.S. Supreme Court, tracelessly infuses hundreds of millions of dollars into the conservative legal movement every year. With the Teneo Network, Leo said he hoped to create “networks of conservatives that can roll back” liberal influence in all spheres of life, including business, media, and entertainment, according to an informational video about the group obtained by ProPublica.

Vance joined the network in 2018, years before he would run for office. At the time, he was a bestselling author running a nonprofit and investment fund.

"Alex Jones the Info Wars guy is a better source of information than Rachel Maddow the MSNBC gal".
I guess JD is ok with crisis acting grade schoolers.

Vance just seals Trump's fate with every single word he has ever uttered. Vance is way more toxic than Trump because he is articulate like any attorney. The woman hatred Vance spews is really what is going to sink the ticket more than anything.
