Right before Donald Trump’s congressional speech on March 4, a lip reader claims that JD Vance uttered some chilling words in a conversation he believed to be private.
JD Vance’s political journey has been nothing short of a dramatic transformation. Back in 2016 – the same year his book “Hillbilly Elegy” was released – Vance openly expressed his disdain for Donald Trump, calling him an “idiot,” likening him to Nixon and, at worst, “America’s Hitler.”
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Reuters
When his Hitler comment went public in 2022, a spokesperson “did not dispute it, but said it no longer represented Vance’s views.”
In a striking reversal, he has since become one of Trump’s most loyal soldiers, rising through the ranks to secure a spot as vice president.
Congressional speech
On March 4, House Speaker Mike Johnson presided over the House floor, preparing for the president’s bold and fiery congressional address.
But right before Trump promised that his disruptive approach to politics was “just getting started,” Vice President JVance was chatting with Johnson, right in front of a live microphone.
But what was he saying?
‘Full reckoning’
Speaking with the Mirror, lip reading specialist Jeremy Freeman claims that Vance privately stated, “Yes it is, a full reckoning, and long overdue”.
He was also reportedly overheard telling Johnson, “By the way, I think the speech is going to be great. But I don’t know how you do this for 90 minutes.”
Johnson’s response to the VP was picked up by a nearby hot mic, where he’s heard saying: “The hardest thing was doing it during Biden, when his speech was a stupid campaign speech.”
This wasn’t a throwaway comment – it was serious enough for Johnson to react by discreetly lowering his microphone, as if ensuring their conversation remained private.
