That's assuming any of that is true, which I don't know that it is.

That's fair, especially this part. I didn't see video of all that myself, just going by what other people are claiming. That said, I give far greater leeway to a rando like you changing their political stances than I do to politicians. I barely consider them human. I tend to agree with Antonio that they only ever do what's expedient and is currently being demanded by their employers. In that sense, Vance reminds me of Cruz. They both literally "grew the beard" and became Trumpian. I suppose to the extent it means he now votes our way because he knows he has to then that's good enough, but I'd keep an eye on him. I won't pretend he has any personal convictions or wouldn't hesitate to change his stripes when the wind blows the other way.
