During the vice presidential debate, Vance similarly refused to answer if he would contest this year’s election if Trump loses
Senator JD Vance repeated a tired Republican lie from 2020 — that Donald Trump actually won the election, despite all evidence to the contrary — and then doubled down on it during a recent recorded encounter.
On Thursday, comedian Jason Selvig posted a clip of an interaction he had with Vance on X. During their brief encounter, Selvig repeatedly asked Vance if Trump won in 2020. The settled issue of who won the 2020 election came up again after Vance told viewers who tuned into Tuesday’s vice presidential debate that he would have helped Trump carry out his “alternative electors” scheme to maintain power in the White House.
“Who won the 2020 election? Could you just answer? Did Donald Trump win?” Selvig asked.
“Yes,” Vance replied.

Yeah this is what scares me about the MAGA nut jobs. Fox News and Trump have created a monster that they can try to steer but don’t fully control. When Fox said that Trump lost the election, the MAGAts fled to News Max and OANN. When Trump even hinted that people should get vaccinated, he got booed and immediately walked it back.
It’s the same reason that we now face a government shutdown every few months. They’ve driven their base so far to the right that they now have no choice but to appease that base or be eaten alive. Once Trump’s McDonald’s encrusted arteries eventually give out, this madness isn’t going to just die with him.
