Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance didn't even flinch. His people let him know the truth...you want to be in the US Senate? You have to do a complete reversal, apologize, and kiss Trump's ass or you have no chance to get the nomination. Up until he made the decision to run, Vance made multiple criticisms about Trump. It wasn't even mild criticism. It was harsh. But reality hit. Makes you wonder how he would hold up to major donors, corporations, etc. when faced with important votes in Congress. Let's see...I could vote this way because it would benefit the people, or I could vote this way because I want to keep my job.
"Like a lot of people, I criticized Trump back in 2016," Vance said. "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." Vance added that he thought Trump was a good president and that "he made a lot of good decisions for people, and I think he took a lot of flak."
"I think that's the most important thing, is not what you said five years ago, but whether you're willing to stand up and take the heat and take the hits for actually defending the interests of the American people," he said.
There's no shame in congress these days.
