J.D. Vance Once Warned Trump About Lying About Elections. That Was Then.
Briefly

If he decides to make this election about how it was stolen from him, then folks are going to be angry and they will be less engaged in the political process than they otherwise would be, J.D. Vance warned in a CNN interview...
We have a fake country right now, Mr. Vance at the time, a Senate candidate vying for Mr. Trump's endorsement in a Republican primary told a reporter for The Vindicator, a newspaper in Mahoning County, Ohio, in October 2021. There were certainly people voting illegally on a large-scale basis.
Mr. Vance has candidly acknowledged his very public journey from outspoken critic of Mr. Trump who he once speculated might be America's Hitler in a text message to a former roommate to an enthusiastic supporter of the former president, who named Mr. Vance his vice-presidential candidate on Monday.
As Mr. Trump's running mate, the most consequential part of this journey may be his transformation from a critic of Mr. Trump's false 2016 claims about election fraud to a defender of his efforts to overturn the 2020 results.
