Glenn Greenwald says JD Vance is pure creation of Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley oligarchs
What was said
"There's no question that everything that was just said there about JD Vance is accurate. JD Vance is 1,000% the creation of Peter Thiel and that very Israel-connected faction in Silicon Valley. It made JD Vance rich. JD Vance in 2022 when he was running for the Senate in Ohio against two other Republicans who were credible established Republican politicians got Donald Trump's nomination pretty much exclusively because Peter Thiel wrangled it out of him."
Glenn Greenwald confirmed that Vice President JD Vance owes his entire political career to billionaire Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and a hardcore Zionist. Greenwald states Thiel made Vance rich, secured Trump's crucial 2016 endorsement for his Ohio Senate race, and represents the military-industrial complex and Israel-connected Silicon Valley faction. Despite Vance's recent anti-neocon positioning, Greenwald expresses deep skepticism about the authenticity of these beliefs given Vance's history of pure opportunism.
