JD Vance Refused FIVE TIMES To Admit That Trump Lost The 2020 Election

During a recent interview with The New York Times, Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance was asked five times in a row to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, and every time he deferred and changed the subject, or he engaged in attacks to deflect the question. This type of denial is incredibly dangerous to the safety of our elections, and it is further evidence of why Trump picked Vance to begin with. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During the recent vice presidential debate between Governor Tim Walls and Senator JD Vance, one of the moments that really stuck with the voters was towards the end of the debate when Tim Walls asked JD Vance, point blank, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? And of course, Vance did not say yes or no. Instead he said, no, we're focused on the future, blah, blah blah. So this past weekend, JD Vance did an interview with New York Times reporter, Lulu Garcia Navarro. And five times during that interview, five times in succession right in a row, Garcia Navarro asked JD Vance, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? And five times in a row, JD Vance would not answer that question. I'm going to read you the exchange. Here is how it went down. Garcia Navarro starts off saying quote in the debate, you were asked to clarify if you believe Trump lost the 2020 election.

Do you believe he lost the 2020 election? Okay, simple enough. Do you believe he lost the election? It's a yes or no question here is Vance's first response to the first time it was asked. I think that Donald Trump and I have both raised a number of issues with the 2020 election, but we're focused on the future. I think there's an obsession here with focusing on 2020. I'm much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide open border groceries that are unaffordable. And look at that point. You know what, before I even continue, let me point this out. The obsession with 2020, you smug little prick is from you. It's from the guy you're running with. He is the one obsessed with it, which is why we ask questions. It also sparked an attempted insurrection at the capitol. So yeah, we're gonna ask questions you, oh my God, he's such a smug prick.

But anyway, Garcia Navarro interrupted an for this, uh, this. So the second time she asks Senator, yes or no, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? And instead of actually answering it the second time, he said, let me ask you a question. Is it okay that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, which independent analysis have said cost Donald Trump millions of votes? Okay, well I've already talked about the fact that the Trump campaign actively colluded with Elon Musk to suppress the hacked information from their campaign. So that's a pretty stupid thing to bring up JD, because every finger you point back at the Biden campaign, there's four more or three more I guess pointing back at you. So yeah, your campaign did that actually to protect you most of all. 'cause it was the vetting

Material they had on you. So I wouldn't bring that up if I were you. That is a very dumb thing to do. But anyway, Garcia Navarro tried a third time. Senator Vance, I'm going to ask you again, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? And he responded by saying, did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested would've caused Trump millions of votes? I think that's the question she tries a fourth time. Senator Vance, I'm going to ask you again, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? And for his fourth response, he said, and I've answered your question with another question, you answer my question, I'll answer yours, that that's not how it works. Like you don't get to answer a question with a question and then not answer the original question until they answer your question. Okay, that's a coward move. But JD Vance is a coward.
