Vance is ‘starved for power’ and ‘just as sinister’ as Trump: columnist
Raw StoryTuesday night’s debate performance from Sen. J.D. Vance should “terrify” anyone who cares about democracy, according to a New York Times columnist who argued that Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate “is just as sinister” as Trump — but far better produced for middle-of-the-road voters. In a new op-ed published Wednesday, opinion columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom suggested that Vance’s audition to lead the Republican party after Trump is working. Contending that Vance is the “perfect solution to Trump’s self-inflicted political frailties” – including his ongoing legal troubles – Cottom, a sociologist and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor, argued that while the first-term Republican senator is just as starved for power as Trump, he’s “not nearly as desperate for attention.” “Vance does mean harm,” Cottom says in her op-ed. He absolutely does want to delegitimize the federal government, pillage protected lands and blame every social ill on people who cannot defend themselves.” Cottom concluded by painting Vance as a threat to fair and free elections and as someone who can deliver the same harm as Trump “without paying the reputational cost” that has made the former president “an effective but toxic politician.”
