- Sen. JD Vance recounted being asked if he had a “secret family” during the vice presidential vetting process, which he found intrusive and bizarre, especially since his wife was present.
- Vance described the vetting process as detailed and intrusive, including questions about potential family criticisms and criminal history.
- Politicians undergoing vice presidential vetting often face extensive scrutiny to prepare for media examination, highlighting past examples like Herschel Walker and John Edwards who had hidden children.
Why is he complaining about the fact that his wife was present when he was asked? Surely it would only be a problem if he did. The fact he’s complaining about it kind of raises a red flag.
