Ex-Trump Adviser: ‘Mean Spirited’ JD Vance Is Now the ‘MAGA Heir Apparent’
JD Vance, “an incredibly effective communicator” with a track record of “lies” and “mean-spirited” trolling, is the “heir apparent” to Donald Trump’s MAGA throne, a former Trump adviser said.
During a CNN panel after Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, former Trump White House director of strategic communications Alyssa Farah Griffin said: “I was struck by the fact that JD Vance is a significantly more eloquent Donald Trump. I don’t agree with JD Vance on quite a bit, but he speaks to MAGA in a way that he comes off as an incredibly effective communicator.”
Griffin likened Vance to a “chameleon” with “multiple sides,” calling it one of “his greatest political strengths” and praising his “command of the facts.” She then noted that Vance spread falsehoods, just as his running mate has.
