Historically unpopular GOP Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance flat-out refuses to answer any direct questions that require a simple "yes or no" in response.
Vance has repeatedly been asked if Donald Trump lost the 2020 election--spoiler, the answer is yes--but he's been ordered by someone to never say so. Whether that directive came from Trump himself or another muscle/money person from the campaign, Vance will never admit to it.
He evaded the question at the VP debate when asked by his Democratic opponent, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Many people are saying that was the moment that sealed Vance's loss.
Vance repeatedly refused to answer the question during a new interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro of the New York Times. Props for the tenacity, Lulu.
On Sunday, Vance once again ducked the question, this time from the unflappable Martha Raddatz. "In interview after interview, question after question, and in the debate, you refuse to say that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election," Raddatz said. "So I'm just going to assume that if I ask you 50 times whether he lost the election, you would not acknowledge that he did. Is that correct?"
The Ohio Senator also stood by Trump's lies that Venezuelan gangs have invaded and conquered Aurora, Colorado, and shared his manufactured criticisms over the White House's handling of FEMA relief.
Despite praise from Republican governors in the states hit hardest by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Trump campaign continues to push disinformation.
Every non-answer from JD Vance is an answer in and of itself. If you can't admit you're a loser, you just move the goalposts.
