J.D. Vance's Texts with Holocaust Denier Revealed

Senator JD Vance has been revealed to have had a 20-month texting relationship with right-wing activist Charles Johnson, known for promoting Holocaust denial and conspiracy theories. The correspondence included discussions on a range of topics, such as UFOs, aid to Ukraine, and the Republican Party's stance on Israel, with Vance often soliciting Johnson's opinions. Notably, Vance expressed disdain for Ukraine's military requests, stating, 'Dude I won’t even take calls from Ukraine,' while also making dismissive remarks about prominent GOP donors. Despite a spokesperson claiming Vance only occasionally engaged with Johnson to push back against his claims, the texts indicate a more complex dynamic where Vance sought Johnson's advice and shared sentiments. The revelations have raised concerns about Vance's far-right affiliations and their implications for his position as Donald Trump's running mate in the upcoming election. These communications have attracted scrutiny as they reflect Vance's controversial ties and viewpoints, potentially impacting his campaign.
