JD Vance in Drag: Photo from Yale Law School Days Surfaces; Vance’s Campaign Won’t Confirm or Deny
There is more trouble for former President Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, after a photo of him in drag surfaced.
The picture has led to a scathing attack by Democrats who point out JD Vance’s hypocrisy on LGBTQ issues.
The picture shows JD Vance in drag attire during his time at Yale Law School, which has stirred up significant controversy.
Vance’s controversial record on LGBTQ issues has brought the controversial photo into sharp focus, with many questioning the true intentions and views of the Vice Presidential candidate on LGBTQ issues.
Media houses like the Daily Beast contacted Vance’s campaign team, who neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the photo of JD Vance in drag.
The pictures were released by Travis Whitfill, who claimed they were taken by a Yale classmate in 2012 while Vance was studying at the university.
Travis Whitfill, an Assistant Professor Adjunct in Pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, sent the photograph to podcast host Matt Bernstein.
He also revealed that the photo of JD Vance in drag came from a group chat among Vance’s classmates and was shared by a “friend of a friend.”
According to Matt Bernstein, the picture was picked from Facebook at a Halloween party, and in a social media post, he stated,
“I would also want to ban drag if I were unable to serve.”
Vance has a long history of making controversial statements when it comes to LGBTQ issues.
Netizens are commenting on the photo of JD Vance in drag and highlighting the hypocrisy of the views he has professed.
Vance’s stance on LGBTQ rights is inconsistent, and the latest picture is one more proof of this fact.
Justice Horn, Jackson County Plan Commissioner, in a social media post, shared the image and stated that he is sharing the picture of JD Vance in drag while attending Yale Law School not to insult the drag community but to deride those people who attack drag while having a history of enjoying the art form themselves.
Another user said that it is not about Vance in drag but the associated hypocrisy.
The authenticity of the picture has been confirmed by many Yale alumni who added that Vance wanted to dress in drag to create an image of an outlaw. Some also charged that Vance lived a gay life in San Francisco with Thiel some years ago. Former Yale members also added that they have nothing against the gay community, but if Vance supports a campaign to make being gay punishable by law, then he is a hypocrite.
The picture also evoked a bizarre comment from GOP House Representative from California, Jack Kimble, who suggested that the picture could be of Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and that Trump may have selected JD Vance for his resemblance to Ivanka Trump, who withdrew from Trump’s campaign citing family commitments.
