J.D. Vance pretends to be outraged after Tim Ryan calls him out for pushing racist conspiracy theory
It was very strange—theatrical, even—when Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance metaphorically clutched his pearls after being called out by Democratic opponent Tim Ryan for his promotion of the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory.
That’s because Vance has steadily promoted the great replacement conspiracy theory since the GOP primary in tweets, political ads, and in an interview with one of the most visible promoters of this bull crap, the Fox propaganda network’s Tucker Carlson. (Vance has also expressed admiration for Alex Jones, another notorious conspiracy theorist.) It’s simply a fact: J.D. Vance has promoted the racist great replacement conspiracy theory.
