Rep. Ro Khanna raised a suggestion over the weekend that Donald Trump might be "intentionally sabotaging" JD Vance.
Khanna appeared on NBC News, where he pointed out that Vance is being tasked with defending things he has spoken out about for years. He was asked about Vance's recent decision to defend the purported IRS Jan. 6 "slush fund."
Laughing, Khanna said, "I feel sorry for JD Vance." He then laid out exactly how it looks from his perspective.
The California Democrat noted on Sunday that the president has repeatedly deployed Vance as his public defender on the administration's most toxic and politically radioactive issues — the Iran war, the Epstein slush fund, and the administration's cozy relationship with what critics have dubbed "the Epstein class."
"Trump is trotting out JD Vance to defend the Epstein class, Iran and foreign wars, and now his $1.7B slush fund," Khanna wrote on X. "Intentional sabotage? I almost feel bad for him."
