Vance additionally recommended that he and so many others “like what he stands for.”
FOX: a Democratic strategist mentioned, , ‘why are all of them they’re defending his affair with a porn star?’ Is that what you’re doing?
J.D. Vance: No, under no circumstances. I imply, look, I used to be there to assist a buddy except for the political implications of this trial, and we’ll definitely get to that. I believe this can be a very miserable technique to spend 5, six weeks of your life when that you just’re harmless as Donald Trump is aware of that he’s and so , recognizing that generally it’s a little bit bit lonely to take a seat up there by your self. I provided to come back in and perhaps , simply be a pleasant face within the courtroom. And that’s all I needed to do. And that’s what I believe you see, so many individuals wish to come and present their assist for the President. As a result of they really like what he stands for. They assume that this trial is pathetic, they usually wish to present some assist to a buddy that I believe that’s a very good factor and an admirable factor. That’s definitely what I needed to do up there.
Vance’s reply isn’t robust, so if Republicans are going to gaslight the nation about this, they should make some fast modifications. One situation is, if J.D. Vance was there to assist a “buddy” on trial for 34 counts of falsifying enterprise information for masking up an affair with a porn star, why are the taxpayers funding his time?
Donald Trump is now an adjudicated rapist, and he has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct by no less than 26 ladies, relationship again to the Seventies and thru 2016. In different phrases, it’s a sample. One he himself bragged about on the Entry Hollywood tape – which, by the way in which, was taped in September of 2005, mere months after he married Melania Trump in January of that 12 months.
In March of 2006, Melania gave beginning to their solely little one, Baron. In June of 2006, Playboy mannequin Karen McDougal claims her affair with Trump began and lasted for months. In July of 2006, Trump had an alleged affair with Stormy Daniels.
Simply yesterday in court docket, Michael Cohen testified that Donald Trump wasn’t nervous what Melania would assume have been she to seek out out about his affairs, as a result of (paraphrase) ‘he wouldn’t be available on the market for lengthy.’
So the get together that claims to be so cultishly “Christian” that they merely can’t tolerate abortion even when it could save the mom’s life or is from incest or rape — though the Bible doesn’t truly straight tackle abortion — are tremendous with precise, repeatedly addressed Biblical sin of adultery.
Right here’s just some examples of what the Bible has to say about adultery:
Exodus 20:14: “You shall not commit adultery.
Hebrews 13:4: “Let marriage be held in honor amongst all, and let the wedding mattress be undefiled, for God will decide the sexually immoral and adulterous.”
How about this one?
Deuteronomy 22:22: “If a person is discovered mendacity with the spouse of one other man, each of them shall die, the person who lay with the girl, and the girl. So that you shall purge the evil from Israel.”
The Bible is VERY clear about adultery, and but these Christian Republicans are tremendous with adultery with a porn star and a Playboy mannequin.
However these identical Christian Republicans are NOT okay with the one factor NOT talked about within the Bible in any respect. This one, the not talked about factor, is the factor that Christian Republicans will put ladies’s and women’ lives in danger over as a result of they really feel so strongly about it.
Right here they’re, led by Speaker Mike Johnson (whose son has needed to monitor his porn use), who believes God selected him for this second:
Speaker Mike Johnson and different Republicans go to ex-president Donald Trump throughout his hush cash to a porn star felony trial (by way of Fox Information screengrab)
The widespread thread is that in each instances, these “Christian” Republicans aspect with males in opposition to ladies. It’s secure to guess they’d not be standing by a lady who cheated a number of instances on her husband, weeks after the beginning of their little one.
However right here they’re… simply serving to a “buddy” — An excuse so flimsy it brings to thoughts mother and father asking their kids if they’d leap off of a bridge simply because our pals did. Are these grown males so spineless? Have they got no values above their very own ambition?
Let’s hand it to Fox Information for asking a member of the get together of compelled birthers why they’re supporting a person who had an affair with a porn star weeks after his spouse gave beginning. Girls voters deserve to listen to the reply to this query, as a result of it goes proper to the center of how Republicans see ladies.
