Vice President JD Vance was roasted online Monday afternoon as House Democrats released a bawdy drawing and letter between President Donald Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — something Vance demanded in July.
A slew of responses revived the vice president's claims and request, which he initially posted on X back in July, in an attack on the Wall Street Journal report indicating that Trump had created a potential letter found in a 50th birthday book for Epstein.
"Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bulls---," Vance wrote via X. "The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?"
He complained that The Journal's reporting was unethical.
"Doesn’t it violate some rule of journalistic ethics to publish a letter like this without showing it to the victim of this hit piece? Will the people who have bought into every hoax against President Trump show an ounce of skepticism before buying into this bizarre story?" Vance wrote.
On Monday, things changed after the sketch was released by lawyers from Epstein's estate.
Users had a lot to say, with many calling him out.
Atlantic writer Tom Nichols wrote "ruh roh" on X.
"Of course, maybe you'll claim this drawing, with good wishes and Trump's signature, is not from the birthday book James Comer and his Oversight Committee received in response to their subpoena to Epstein's estate lawyer but, if so, good luck with that," Ira 'Greybeard Homer' Goldman posted on X.
"JD's personal quest to be wrong about as many things as humanly possible is truly something to behold, but that's your brain on MAGA I guess," Jessiah, Host of Pondering Politics YouTube channel, wrote via X.
"Hey VP @JDVance, turns out the story isn’t bulls---, and your boss lied about the birthday note. You going to apologize now amirite?" Congressman and former mayor of Long Beach, Robert Garcia, wrote on X.
"Many politicians lie. Many politicians are condescendingly smug. Few politicians are as condescendingly smug about their lies as @JDVance. It's actually quite impressive!" Former President Barack Obama speech writer and founder of Crooked Media Jon Favreau posted on X.
".@JDVance, you should be ashamed that you’re covering up your boss Donald Trump’s close and personal friendship with a pedophile," Ken Martin, chair of the Democrats, posted on X.
"Funny how this letter turned up after all @JDVance. It’s a shame your dignity never did," Senate Majority PAC posted on X.
"Now that the letter you said didn’t exist has been published what do you have to say @JDVance?" asked Michael Kasdan, IP/Tech Lawyer and NYU Law professor, via X.
