JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate in the upcoming election, was once a Trump hater and Vance’s campaign has not tried to put a fig-leaf onto it. They said Vance’s opinion about Trump evolved over the ages. Now an old friend of Vance, Sofia Nelson, who identifies himself as a transgender, has leaked his old private mail exchanges with Vance — to the New York Times hoping that voters would be now well informed about Mr Vance — who already is at the center of a major controversy for his past remark on ‘childless cat ladies’.
Sofia and Vance went to Yale Law School together and kept in touch until 2021 when Vance said he supported an Arkansas ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
The NYT published several excepts from those mails showing that Vance was a different person at that time.
‘I am obviously outraged at Trump’s rhetoric’
In a 2015, JD Vance wrote he was outraged by Donald Trump’s rhetoric. “…and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country. But I also think that people have always believed crazy s***. And there may have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy s*** “
In his book Hillbilly Elegy, Vance mistakenly referred to Nelson as lesbian instead of transgender and apologized for it. That did not break their friendship though.
‘Trump just a bad man’
In another email, JD Vance wrote Trump is “just a bad man. A morally reprehensible human being”.
The revelations came amid reports that Trump may change his running mate in the wake of several controversies. It was also reported Saturday that Vance’s wife Usha used to be “appalled” by Trump.
JD Vance reacts to leaked mails
The New York Times reached out to JD Vance’s campaign for a comment on the leaked mail exchanged. His spokesperson said the senator wishes Sofia, who leaked the mails, very best.
“Senator Vance values his friendships with individuals across the political spectrum. He has been open about the fact that some of his views from a decade ago began to change after becoming a dad and starting a family, and he has thoroughly explained why he changed his mind on President Trump. Despite their disagreements, Senator Vance cares for Sofia and wishes Sofia the very best,” the statement said,
