Conservatives mock Trump’s 'vetting process' for Vance: 'Didn’t even do a Google search'

01 September 2024

The New York Times' Michael C. Bender wrote in a report published Saturday that even Donald Trump has been surprised by his team's failure to properly vet 2024 GOP vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance (R-OH).

Blunder wrote that "the first tidal wave of bad coverage surrounding Vance prompted Trump to wonder "just how many hits his new running mate could absorb."

On Sunday, several legal and political experts shared another article — a Guardian report written by journalist Jason Wilson – about a recently resurfaced September 2021 podcast interview, in which Vance said "professional women 'choose a path to misery' when they prioritize careers over having children."

Additionally, the Guardian noted, "Vance also sideswiped the Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a one-time Somali refugee, claiming she had shown 'ingratitude' to America, and that she 'would be living in a craphole' had she not moved to the US."

This all comes after the senator faced major backlash earlier this summer for an unearthed interview with right-wing host Tucker Carlson, in which Vance said that America is being run by Democrats — "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too."

Conservative lawyer George Conway commented on the article via X, writing: "I’m starting to think that the vetting process for @JDVance will be never be fully complete."

The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson replied: "I’m starting to think they didn’t even do a Google search."
