Former President Donald Trump may have been impeached twice, but he remains unimpeachable in the minds of his supporters, often at the expense of reality.

Trump remains the favorite to win the GOP's nomination for President in 2024 and Republican candidates in the 2022 midterms are leaping to ingratiate themselves with the former President in hopes of winning his endorsement.

Among those candidates is J.D. Vance—the author and venture capitalist who's currently running to represent Ohio in the United States Senate.

Vance brands himself as a pro-Trump Republican now, but he frequently slammed the former President in the early days of Trump's campaign and presidency.

Newly discovered Twitter messages between Vance and a friend during the first summer of Trump's presidency, uncovered by CNN's KFile, show Vance calling Trump a "moral disaster" while discussing the American Health Care Act—the failed Republican legislation to replace the Affordable Care Act.

Most notably, Vance wrote:

"Can you imagine running as an anti-AHCA populist who thinks Trump is a moral disaster? Where's my constituency?"

These messages come on the heels of resurfaced sentiments where Vance agreed that Trump was a "fraud" and since-deleted tweets calling Trump "reprehensible," for which Vance apologized.

According to social media users, Vance is now peddling the same fraudulent image he accused Trump of embodying.






People are divided on whether Trump will support Vance's Senate bid in light of the author's critical comments.



Only time will tell.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
