Tommy Vietor

A lot of buddies of Scott Besant's who work at hedge funds that want to get paid out on those Argentinian peso bets.

Final question for you.

So Politico had this story earlier this week as a leaked group chat with a bunch of young Republican leaders.

I'm not going to walk through all the gory details, but like suffice to say, the comments were extremely racist, anti-Semitic, often violent, misogynistic.

And but my question is about J.D.

Vance's response to this story.

So Vance tweeted an image of a text from Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, where Jones advocated for political violence.

And then J.D.

included text from himself that said, this is far worse than anything said in a college group chat.

And the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia.

I refuse to join the pearl clutching when it comes when powerful people call for political violence.

So, look, I will gladly say that I found Jay Jones's text to be nuts and I condemn them.

And I think there's no place in America for political violence.

Full stop.

But I'm curious what you think the impact is of the vice president just refusing to say, yeah, you know what?

Those comments were out of line and I don't support that.

And like I'm not saying that these kids, these kids who weren't college kids, I'm not saying these people should be canceled for life or need to like.

go to prison somewhere.

But I wonder what the impact is of the vice president refusing to say, you know what, I'm not cool with joking about sending your political opponents to the gas chamber, for example.

Yeah.
