Oct 16 (Reuters) - After dodging the issue for weeks, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance said unequivocally on Wednesday he believes false claims that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.

Taking questions from reporters at a campaign event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Vance was again asked if Trump lost to President Joe Biden four years ago. “On the election of 2020, I've answered this question directly a million times. No! I think there are serious problems in 2020,” Vance said. “So, did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020? Not by the words that I would use.”

Trump, the Republican candidate for president in 2024, continues to falsely claim that he lost the 2020 election due to extensive voter fraud, a view shared by millions of his supporters. Numerous inquiries, however, have found no evidence of fraud.

During his current run for president, Trump has suggested he will challenge the results if he does not prevail in the Nov. 5 contest against Democrat Kamala Harris, the US vice president. His efforts to overturn the 2020 election led to his indictment by federal and state officials. He still awaits trial in those cases. His refusal to accept the outcome also sparked the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by thousands of his supporters.

1. ask him if he's just saying that

so MAGA doesn't hang him

[JHB]

49. He knows that if he DOESN'T say it, the first round of purges will include HIM

It won't save him, because as the constitutionally-designated successor, he's a threat, someone who has a motive to get rid of him and whose loyalty is suspect.

[The Roux Comes First]

2. So, On a Very Fundamental Level, This Supposed College Graduate and Purported Homo Sapiens

Wants to cavil over the tautness of the nylon webbing on the deck chairs before we get around to talking about the iceberg!

What a callous piece of shit!

[mwb970]

3. Vance is well on his way to becoming the answer to a very difficult trivia question.

[jfz9580m]

27. Nice!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

4. "Serious problems"????

Sixty-plus goddamn court decisions makes you (again) a POS lying bastard, Shady.

[onetexan]

36. Serious problems alternative facts

[usonian]

5. I'm convinced that was part of the "deal"

How you sell your soul to someone who sold his soul is beyond me.

[onetexan]

37. Never pays to sell one's soul to the devil

Vance's political career is over.

[ShazzieB]

41. Yes.

The first rule of working for Trump kwhich is essentially what he's doing) if that you have to be willing to lie about whatever he wants to lie about.

[ShazzieB]

43. Not necessarily.

When he and Trump lose, his Semate seat will still be there. He doesn't come up for reelection until 2028.

[onetexan]

44. All the lies and what he's done this year will come up to bite him in 2028

[ShazzieB]

55. So we might think.

I'm just really cynical when it comes to Republicans these days. When I look at what other Republican Senators and Reps get away with and still get reelected over and over, I'm not sure it's safe to write him off completely.

He's also got several years left on his Senate term, and voters have short memories. I wish I could feel sure this would finish him, but I'm not convinced it's a safe bet.

[TBF]

6. "Not by the words that I would use" -

WTF kind of answer is that?

He knows full well that Trump lost but doesn't want to upset the cult.

[Raven123]

7. Exactly. He knows he's lying.

[ShazzieB]

42. He doesn't want to upset Trump, either.

I think that's why he made a pretzel out of himself trying not to answer that question directly.

But living in Trump World means signing on to the lies, as he has found out.

[Valdosta]

8. Hasn't that been the Republican Party line all along? n/t

[Escape]

9. OK then..

I was holding judgment on an issue concerning Mr Vance, but, under these circumstances, I think I can go ahead and express my solemn opinion now:

JD Vance DID have sex with a couch.

[debm55]

23. ShadyVance did it with the love seat

[orleans]

24. and i'm sure there is photographic evidence of him & the couch (compliments of AI) nt

[Klarkashton]

10. "technically speaking" according to him IF more people

Were aware of Hunter Biden's laptop it would have
Changed the outcome.
That is quite an IF if you ask me and it's completely speculative.
The fact is that trump didn't have the votes so he lost the election. There is no other legit answer to the question.

[NBachers]

40. Ah, the old Hunter's Laptop dodge, eh?

[tetedur]

53. But Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't the voter fraud issue I remember them kvetching about in 2020.

Wasn't dead people voting, illegals voting, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss etc. their main targets of accusations?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The laptop surfaced during Giuliani's quest to blame Ukraine for Russia's hacking of the DNC. Trump was still trying to blame someone else for his Russia connections in the 2016 election even after he had been acquitted in the first impeachment. He tried to rope Ukraine into smearing Joe Biden in the run up to the 2020 election and was caught and impeached.

[Torchlight]

11. Failing this most basic of all Kool-Aid tests illustrates he's either willfully ignorant or just dishonest.

Either one is poor reflection on his person's characters, but as I'm confident Jimmy learned to lift the lid before sitting down at a reasonable age, that only leaves us with...

[Dave Bowman]

12. Can't wait for that useful idiot to go back into obscurity and never hear about him ever again.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Why does no journalist then ask for the evidence of

those problems he's so convinced happened?

[Rizen]

14. JD Vance is a dipshit who thinks women are baby factories...

and doesn't have much else going on in that thick skull of his.

[CountAllVotes]

15. Ah jaysus !!

Not this crapola AGAIN!

Just say NO to tRUMP, you know that freak with the 32 felonies!

How a convicted FELON is able to run for POTUS is beyond my comprehension!

[Bristlecone]

16. He is a lying POS. Full stop.

[DallasNE]

17. A Few Days Earlier

An online journalist shouted at Vance "did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election". When Vance did not respond he again asked "did Donald Trump not lose the 2020 election" to which Vance answered "yes". Astonished, the journalist clarified "you're saying Trump did not lose the 2020 election" and Vance said "yeah". So Vance has been giving a one-word answer for a few days and now is the first he has elaborated.

[Javaman]

18. Dutiful water carrier for the orange asshole nt

[chouchou]

19. JD Vance reminds me of "I have my hands in front of my eyes, Mommie! You can't see me!"

[mahina]

20. Well, that's the ballgame people

[dchill]

21. "Not by the words that I would use."

You mean craven lies, right, JD?

[Seinan Sensei]

29. Alternative facts

[dchill]

34. THAT old chestnut!

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Says the guy with tattoo eyeliner....

[slightlv]

25. He's sure setting himself up to be President Vance, isn't he?

Wonder if trump has enough brain cells left to recognize this fact?

[4lbs]

26. What a moron Shady Vance is, by "by the words that I would use"? WTF does that mean?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election

Did Biden get more votes than Dumpy? YES

Did Biden win more voting areas than Dumpy? YES

Did Biden get more Electoral Votes than Dumpy? YES

So.... Dumpy f*cking lost 2020 by any definition a stable mind can think of to use.

However, "by the words that I would use". What a crock of sh*t.

Dumpy done got beat by the other old white guy, and he can't take it. The mental hit and slam to his ego was too big. Errr..... bigly.

[roscoeroscoe]

28. Tapdancing Asshole

"Not by the words..." Oh I wish Samuel L. Jackson was there to fix his wagon.

[GoYouPackersGo]

52. Tapdancing asshole...

There's a really funny NSFW cartoon there somewhere.

[bahboo]

30. the orange fuck lost the EC, by the exact amount of his...

2016 landslide mandate. Where he of course lost the popular vote by 2.5 million. Methinks the couch lover is full of shit....

[Hassler]

31. Someone should ask JD Divan if he really won Ohio. There were questions about it's legitimacy

[Montauk6]

32. NEXT WEEK ON "VANCE!"

Interviewer: ...AGAIN, Senator, DID Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

VANCE!: Look, with the MANY issues uncovered in every state, before and after, those are words that I would more than likely not put together in a sentence.

[oasis]

33. It's puzzling how Vance, The Prince of Gish Gallop,

gives only a brief reply whenever he’s asked that question.

[ailsagirl]

35. Then why didn't he say so when he was asked outright during the debate??

[fob]

38. someone please explain to that ahole

If chump won in 2020 then he is ineligible to run for a 3rd term

[Aussie105]

39. Be wary of those who wish to revise history.

Be wary of those who try to ignore historical events and dismiss commonly known evidence as not worthy of consideration.

Be wary of those who evade simple questions.

Be wary of those who eye couches with carnal lust, malice and mischief in mind.

. . . not talking about anyone specific, honest!

[BlueWavePsych]

45. Kick

[The Wizard]

46. The time has long since passed

to lock him up because Garland dropped the ball. Lock him up . Wash, rinse, repeat. Butner, NC beckons.

[The Wizard]

47. The real threat comes from

House Speaker Mike Johnson who has already stated he will not certify the election if Harris prevails. Methinks Trump has the dirt hiding in Johnson's past. What is the Speaker hiding? The American people have the right to know if the Speaker is compromised. Note to the Speaker: According to the Bible the truth will set you free.

[The Wizard]

48. Will Vance take a polygraph? (NT)

[mwooldri]

50. And Tim Ryan didn't lose his Senate race.

Shady Vance stole the seat.

Sorry just had to apply that guys logic for a moment.

[purr-rat beauty]

51. So, Was he...

Fact Checked in real time?

[ColoradoHoosier]

54. Anyone who doubts their intent this time around...

...to deny the count and try to throw it to the House, then to their Opus Dei friends on the court, this pretty much removes that doubt
