As President-elect Donald Trump continues to fill out his cabinet, Vice President-elect JD Vance is seemingly lashing out after being somewhat pushed aside by Trump. Vance took a page from Trump’s book by insulting Grace Chong as an “imbecile” on X, formerly Twitter. Chong is the CFO and COO for Steve Bannon’s Pro-Trump “WarRoom” podcast and said in a since-deleted tweet, “You guys better show up and do your one fricken job!!” (via The Independent) in reference to the Senate voting on President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees. She specifically called out Marco Rubio and JD Vance in the post.
Trump echoed Chong’s sentiments on Truth Social, the X clone owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, which is primarily owned by Trump. “The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” he wrote. “Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!”
Vance, who is currently a Republican senator, did not take kindly to Chong’s words. He ranted at her on X, calling Chong “a mouth breathing imbecile who attacks those of us in the fight rather than make herself useful” (via The Independent). He also seemed to clap back at Trump, writing: “I tend to think it’s more important to get an FBI director who will dismantle the deep state than it is for Republicans to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45. But that’s just me.” Vance has been absent from recent Senate votes as he has been vetting potential FBI director candidates with Trump. His tweet has since been deleted.
