In a CBS interview, JD Vance put on display exactly why Trump picked him to be Vice President. He basically does what he’s told, even if contradicts his own positions from even weeks ago:

* Only weeks after saying violent Jan. 6 insurrectionists should “obviously” not be pardoned, Vance defended the release of violent Jan. 6 insurrectionists as “the right decision”

* The Yale Law grad defended the blatantly unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship, saying—“just because we were founded by immigrants doesn't mean that, 240 years later, that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world” (it’s in the Constitution, bud)

* And even though Trump had promised that if he won, “I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one,” Vance laid out a different timetable: “It's going to take a little bit of time…Rome wasn't built in a day.”
