As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country! 🇺🇸
What if I told you there was a US Senator who:
-wants transgender troops in the military
-voted for the biggest gun control bill in decades
-sends money to Ukraine
-confirmed Biden’s Cabinet picks
-opposes Trump’s Cabinet picks
Which party would you think they’re in?
Pete Hegseth and I will continue our constructive conversations as we move forward together in this process. We plan to meet again next week.
At a minimum, we agree that he deserves the opportunity to lay out his vision for our warfighters at a fair hearing.
