MAGA Podcaster Challenges Vance by Publicly Reciting His Own Epstein Remarks
In a recently resurfaced podcast clip from last October, Vice President JD Vance jokingly suggested the release of Jeffrey Epstein's client list, sparking renewed interest in his previous stance on the matter. The clip, which features comedian Theo Von, has gone viral this week.
During the conversation, Theo Von, who boasts a following of 1.6 million, can be heard saying, "Release the list!" The comment was met with laughter from both men. However, the podcast does not provide any evidence that Vance has taken any concrete steps towards releasing the list since his initial remark.
The resurfaced clip comes after the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed earlier this month that there is no incriminating list of Epstein's clients. This announcement has rekindled discussions about Vance's past comments on the Epstein case, particularly his 2021 remarks during a podcast interview.
In 2021, Vance did discuss the Epstein case and the need to release the Epstein client list in various media appearances and social media posts. However, his most recent public comments on the issue came in a recent interview on Theo Von's podcast, where he defended President Donald Trump, stating that Trump did nothing wrong with Epstein, a stance that contrasts with his previous remarks.
Trump himself has been vocal about the Epstein issue, referring to it as a "hoax" on his Truth Social account this week. He also labelled those still discussing the issue as "my PAST supporters" who have "bought into this 'bulls-t'," implying that they are weaklings.
The resurfaced podcast clip has prompted calls for Vance to clarify his current position on the Epstein client list. Call to Activism tweeted, "Hey JD, what changed? Let's blast this everywhere before he tries to erase it." Theo Von himself reposted the video and added, "Yeah what changed?"
In 2021, Vance retweeted Jack Posobiec, who posted, "What possible interest would the U.S. government have in keeping Epstein's clients secret? Oh..." This retweet occurred after Epstein's death in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
The Daily Beast has contacted JD Vance for comment regarding the resurfaced podcast clip, but as of now, there is no specific information available about Vice President Vance publicly commenting on his 2021 remarks about the Epstein client list.
This renewed interest in Vance's past comments comes at a critical time, with the 2024 presidential election just around the corner. It remains to be seen how Vance will respond to the calls for clarification and whether this issue will play a role in his political future.
