Trump and Vance have a lot of explaining to do:

On Saturday, The New York Times published an article that included 90 emails and text messages from Vance that dated from 2014 to 2017. The messages were provided by Vance’s close law school friend, Sofia Nelson, who fell out with Vance in 2021 over his support for an Arkansas ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Nelson identifies as transgender…

…Two months later, Nelson proposed the idea to Vance in an email that police officers should be required to wear body cameras.

“I hate the police,” Vance replied to Nelson, the Times reported. “Given the number of negative experiences I’ve had in the past few years, I can’t imagine what a Black guy goes through.”

This was in FOX News:

The Times also shared a screenshot of an email of Vance apologizing to Nelson for accidentally referring to the classmate as a lesbian in his bestselling book “Hillbilly Elegy.”

At the time, Vance wrote, “I hope you recognized that the description came from a place of ignorance, when I first started writing years ago. I hope you’re not offended, but if you are, I’m sorry!”

The piece then went to another anti-Trump email of Vance’s from that same year, part of which read, “The more white people feel like voting for trump, the more black people will suffer. I really believe that.”

And in another from later that year, Vance told Nelson he believed that Trump is “just a bad man. A morally reprehensible human being.”
