JD Vance once had a lot to say about the Epstein files, and one Republican lawmaker on Saturday reminded the vice president of his words.
Vance has largely been silent about the release of Epstein files by Trump's DOJ, which was required under a law passed by lawmakers and signed into law by President Donald Trump himself. The administration has been accused of breaking the law with the release, which some analysts have referred to as "botched."
GOP rep. Thomas Massie over the weekend recalled a prior "version" of Vance, and threw it in the V.P.'s face.
Massie dug up a still-published post from Vance in 2021. At that time, Vance wrote, "What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…"
Then Massie stepped in with seven words as a response.
"I miss this version of JD Vance," he wrote on social media.
