You might have seen this fake-news Vanity Fair piece from this morning:
From the article, which centered around dialogue with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles:
Trump, she told me, 'has an alcoholic's personality.' Vance's conversion from Never Trumper to MAGA acolyte, she said, has been 'sort of political.' The vice president, she added, has been 'a conspiracy theorist for a decade.'
Russell Vought, architect of the notorious Project 2025 and head of the Office of Management and Budget, is 'a right-wing absolute zealot.' When I asked her what she thought of Musk reposting a tweet about public sector workers killing millions under Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, she replied: 'I think that's when he's microdosing.' (She says she doesn't have first-hand knowledge.)
Well, Susie Wiles responded, saying "significant context was disregarded."
In Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Vance was asked about the article by a WaPo reporter. He had some thoughts...
And they're absolutely perfect.
Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true.
...
For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask three-year-olds at the height of the COVID pandemic, that we should actually let them develop some language skills.
I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was clearly unable to do the job.
And I believed in the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was trying to throw his political opponents in jail rather than win an argument against his political opponents. So at least on some of these conspiracy theories, it turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it.
Conspiracy theorists still undefeated!
