Vance’s Deleted Tweet Sparks Outrage: Self-Owns and FBI Director Controversy
Senator JD Vance’s deleted tweet defending his Senate absences backfired spectacularly. While justifying his absence by prioritizing assisting Trump in interviewing potential FBI directors, he inadvertently revealed Trump’s plan to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray before his term ends. This revelation contradicted Vance’s prior argument downplaying the importance of Senate votes, especially considering President-elect Trump subsequently criticized Republican senators for missing votes on judicial nominees. Ironically, Vance returned to the Senate following the deleted tweet and the ensuing criticism.
