Vance also suggested that he and many others “like what he stands for.”

JD Vance. No, not at all. I mean, look, I was there to support my friend, except for the political ramifications of this trial, and we'll certainly get there. I think it's a very depressing way to spend five, six weeks of your life when you know you're innocent, as Donald Trump knows he is, and so you know, realizing it's a little lonely sitting there sometimes. yourself I offered to come in and maybe you know, just be a friendly face in the courtroom. And that's all I wanted to do. And that's what I think you're seeing, so many people want to come and show their support for the president. Because they actually like what he stands for. They think this trial is pathetic and want to show a little support to a friend, which I think is a good thing and admirable. That's certainly what I wanted to do there.
Vance's response is not strong, so if Republicans are going to take the country by storm on this issue, they need to make changes quickly. One question is, if JD Vance was supporting a “friend” on trial on 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide an affair with a porn star, why are taxpayers funding his time?
Donald Trump is now a convicted rapist and has been credibly accused of sexual assault by at least 26 women dating back to the 1970s and 2016. In other words, it's a pattern. He bragged about one himself on the Access Hollywood tape, which, by the way, was recorded in September 2005, just months after he married Melania Trump in January of that year.
In March 2006, Melania gave birth to their only child, Baron. In June 2006, Playboy model Karen McDougall claimed that her affair with Trump began and lasted for months. In July 2006, Trump allegedly had an affair with Stormy Daniels.
Just yesterday, Michael Cohen testified in court that Donald Trump wasn't worried about what Melania would think if she found out about his affairs because (metaphorically) “she wouldn't be on the market for long.”
Thus, the party that claims to be so devoutly “Christian” that they simply cannot tolerate abortion, even when it may save the mother's life or is related to incest or rape, even though the Bible does not actually address abortion directly. , is actually good. repeatedly referred to the biblical sin of adultery.
Here are just a few examples of what the Bible says about adultery:
Exodus 20:14. “You shall not commit adultery.
Hebrews 13:4. “Let marriage be respected among all, and the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and the adulterers.”
How about this?
Deuteronomy 22:22. “If a man is found lying with another man's wife, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you must purge the evil from Israel.”
The Bible is VERY clear about adultery and yet these Christian Republicans are fine with adultery with a porn star and a Playboy model.
But these same Christian Republicans disagree with something that is not mentioned in the Bible at all. This one, the unmentioned, is something that Christian Republicans will risk the lives of women and girls over because they feel so strongly about it.
Here they are, led by speaker Mike Johnson (whose son has had to control his porn use), who believes God has chosen him for this moment;

The commonality is that in both cases these “Christian” Republicans are on the side of men against women. It's safe to say they wouldn't stand by a woman who repeatedly cheated on her husband weeks after their baby was born.
But here they are… just helping a “friend”. An excuse so flimsy that it comes to mind asking parents if they would jump off a bridge just because our friends did. Are these grown men that spineless? Do they have no values beyond their own ambitions?
Let's hand it to Fox News to ask a member of the pro-birther party why they support a man who had an affair with a porn star weeks after his wife gave birth. Women voters deserve to hear the answer to this question because it has to do with how Republicans see women.
