However, there are someweird things about JD Vance that can’t be forgotten.

It also seems like Vance’s less-than-stellar people skills have been on display in some interviews he’s done.

“We have seen some of that with some of these protests.”

“Kaitlan, I’m truly skeptical that Mike Pence’s life was ever in danger.

Collins interrupted to say, “I think Mike Pence would disagree with that, Senator.”

Tapper corrected him and said that wasn’t Kelly’s issue with Trump.

We’re running this campaign on making of the American dream.”

“Tapper denied those claims.

Later in the interview, Tapper tried to make sense of what Vance was saying.

“And they’re all just going after Donald Trump because they want to send people into war?

That’s what that’s really your argument?”

Vance replied, “Absolutely.”
