On the heels of winning the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Ohio, J.D. Vance appeared on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," where he went after Fox News contributor and former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove.
Host Tucker Carlson remarked that Vance had previously criticized the former President Donald Trump, who eventually endorsed him.
"What's so interesting is that the rap against you was that you were a fraud," Carlson said, per Mediaite. "'J.D. Vance was skeptical of Trump; now he's all-in on Trump's agenda.' But if you were a fraud, they would've sent you money. My impression was they hated you because they suspected you were sincere."
Vance didn't hide that he has criticized the former president acknowledging the summary that Carlson laid out of him is correct. "I think that's exactly right, Tucker," Vance replied.
Afterward, the Ohio politician went after Rove referring to the Fox News contributor as a "slimeball."
"If you think of some of my biggest enemies in this primary – you know the slimeball Karl Rove, who shipped a lot of American jobs overseas and got rich in the process, and also sent a lot of Americans to die in stupid conflicts. You know, Karl Rove spent a lot of money," Vance said.
"He wrote a lot of op-eds criticizing my candidacy, even called my donors after Trump endorsed me, encouraging them to drop my campaign. So, in a lot of ways the what this revealed is that you have some very corrupt political consultants in the Republican Party who despise their own voters."
