Fox News Lets Vance Dodge On Project 2025's Plans For America
Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum asked JD Vance about Project 2025's plans to gut Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act and to ban abortion nationwide, and were served up a big heaping helping of revisionist history as a response.
"Senator, there was one point where Governor Walz said that you all have a playbook, and he depicted what you and your ticket, the former president and you, are going to do. And he got specific." After playing a clip of Walz going after them, Baier continued "Okay, so will you jack up the costs on the middle class? Will you do all of the rest of the things there?"
"No, Brett, of course not. The amnesia required to utter those words from Tim Waltz, when Donald Trump was president, prices for the middle class were the lowest they had been, wages were rising, the border was secure," Vance responded, ignoring the fact that his tax cuts failed to deliver on Trump's promises, and primarily benefited the rich.
After more revisionist history by Vance about how great things supposedly were under Trump, and ignoring that he tanked the economy with his botched response to the pandemic, Baier followed up on his original question. "Okay, but the other two things, will you ban the Affordable Care Act?"
