Ex-Trump Aide Slams JD Vance For ‘Straight Up’ Mendacity About 1 Explicit Concern

Alyssa Farah Griffin has joined a rising refrain claiming Sen. JD Vance (R-Oh.) “straight up” lied onstage Tuesday on the vice presidential debate in opposition to Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) and, as an aide to former President Donald Trump, will surely know if he hadn’t.

The “View” co-host and former Trump White Home communications director took specific concern with Vance claiming that Trump “salvaged” the Reasonably priced Care Act, the well being care coverage signed into legislation by former President Barack Obama in 2010.

“When Obamacare was crushing under the weight of its own regulatory burden and health care costs, Donald Trump could have destroyed the program,” Vance stated Tuesday. “Instead, he worked in a bipartisan way to ensure that Americans had access to affordable care.”

“I think you can make a really good argument that it salvaged Obamacare,” he added.

The declare was notably egregious as repealing Obamacare was a central speaking level of Trump’s 2016 presidential marketing campaign. The previous president even signed an govt order upon taking workplace in 2017 to launch the method of rolling the landmark coverage again.

“When he said Trump tried to save Obamacare, I was on Capitol Hill — we were trying to repeal Obamacare,” Griffin stated Wednesday on “The View,” per Mediaite: “I’m willing to admit what we were trying to do as Republicans. He just straight up lied about that.”

Trump naturally repeated the lie throughout his personal debate final month in opposition to Vice President Kamala Harris. His plan to repeal it’s properly documented, although: Trump vowed to take action on his marketing campaign web site in 2016 and incessantly promised it at his rallies.

The hassle would have drastically lowered authorities spending on well being care and left thousands and thousands with out protection. Whereas Trump was unsuccessful in convincing Congress to eliminate the legislation, he continued to undermine it by chopping funding for outreach and enrollment counselors throughout his time period.

Fellow “View” co-host Pleasure Behar put it succinctly Wednesday in calling each Trump and Vance “pathological liars,” which Griffin agreed with — however not earlier than suggesting that Trump is infuriated about his operating mate being a greater debater than he’s.

“He can make it through 90 minutes without melting down about rallies and crowd sizes,” stated Griffin. “Not Donald Trump. I suspect how glowing the reviews from the right are about JD Vance is going to ultimately irk Donald Trump because he cannot debate the way JD Vance does.”
