JD Vance, the GOP's 2024 vice presidential nominee, has faced scrutiny for a blog post he wrote in 2012 that criticized the Republican Party's treatment of minorities and immigration policy. In the article, titled 'A Blueprint for the GOP,' Vance described the party as 'openly hostile to non-whites' and questioned the feasibility of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants. Four years later, he requested his former professor to delete the post to aid his political aspirations, but it remains accessible on the Internet Archive. Now, Vance has adopted anti-immigrant rhetoric, aligning himself with former President Trump's stances, including promoting debunked claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio. Critics argue this shift demonstrates a betrayal of his earlier views and highlights a broader trend of embracing divisive politics for electoral gain. Vance's transformation has sparked discussions about authenticity and the evolving nature of political identities within the GOP.
