Adam Kinzinger: Moscow Is ‘Celebrating’ J.D. Vance as Trump’s VP Pick

COLBERT: “Let’s talk about someone who is new to the Republican Party, at least in office, J.D. Vance, who was picked by Donald Trump to be his vice president. What do you make of that choice? What are your thoughts on that choice?”
KINZINGER: “I mean, they are celebrating that choice both in Milwaukee tonight and in Moscow. Like, J.D. Vance is the one that has said, ‘I frankly don’t care what happens in Ukraine.’ He has very loudly talked about how he doesn’t care what happens in Ukraine. He has opposed aid to Ukraine. At a time where, since World War II, the biggest defense of a country, of freedom, that is happening right now — I mean, in the trenches in Ukraine you have somebody that’s a musician next to a machinist next to a college professor. These are people that are not at all — have anything in common, except they are standing together, defending their country. All we have to do is help finance that. Right? We are not even fighting. And J.D. Vance has aggressively parroted actual Russian talking points. So this to me, he’s a guy that was an anti-Trumper, that all of a sudden is the biggest pro-Trumper. He has no moral soul, no center. And how you can like Russian and what they are doing in Ukraine is beyond me. I think it was a terrible pick for the president.”
