Newly Revealed Messages: Vance Blasted Trump's Presidency as Utter Failure in 2020 [1]

On Friday, the Washington Post dropped another bombshell on Vance’s hypocrisy about his lacerating statements on Trump made in 2020. This directly contradicts Vance’s claim that Trump’s four years in office made him a Trump acolyte. Vance wrote to a man he was relatively unfamiliar with in Twitter direct messaging, in 2020, that Trump’s four years in office were largely a failure.

The Post bluntly exposed Vance’s disingenuous positions on Trump:

“Vance has said watching the former president enact his populist agenda for left-behind Americans transformed him from a “Never Trump” conservative in 2016 to a Trump supporter in 2020. But Vance privately expressed a very different verdict on Trump as the former president’s first term was nearing its end, previously unreported messages obtained by The Washington Post show. In the direct messages — sent during Trump’s final year in office to an acquaintance over the social media platform then known as Twitter — Vance harshly criticized his future running mate’s record of governance and said Trump had not fulfilled his economic agenda.”

In 2021, Vance dishonestly claimed Trump was a “good president”:

“Like a lot of people, I criticized Trump back in 2016,” Vance said shortly after he began campaigning for Senate in 2021. “And I ask folks not to judge me based on what I said in 2016, because I’ve been very open that I did say those critical things and I regret them, and I regret being wrong about the guy. I think he was a good president, I think he made a lot of good decisions for people, and I think he took a lot of flak.”

The revelation of Vance’s opportunistic hypocrisy was disclosed by the Post the day after an online blogger published the explosive Vance “dossier” that the mainstream media is still sitting on and not publishing. Elon Musk banned the blogger and the dossier from “X,” an indication that it was no doubt the real thing.
