Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday responded to the Vanity Fair hit piece on White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Susie Wiles said President Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality” in a wide-ranging interview with Vanity Fair.
“We often spoke on Sundays after church. Wiles, an Episcopalian, calls herself “Catholic lite,”” the reporter for Vanity Fair wrote.
Wiles also called Vance a conspiracy theorist.
“One time we spoke while she was doing her laundry in her Washington, DC, rental. Trump, she told me, “has an alcoholic’s personality.” Vance’s conversion from Never Trumper to MAGA acolyte, she said, has been “sort of political.” The vice president, she added, has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Russell Vought, architect of the notorious Project 2025 and head of the Office of Management and Budget, is “a right-wing absolute zealot.” When I asked her what she thought of Musk reposting a tweet about public sector workers killing millions under Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, she replied: “I think that’s when he’s microdosing.” (She says she doesn’t have first-hand knowledge.)” the reporter wrote
As expected, the Vanity Fair hit piece created a firestorm.
Vance hit back at a reporter who asked about Susie Wiles calling him a conspiracy theorist.
“I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true,” Vance said to cheers. “And by the, Susie and I have joked in public and in private about that for a long time.”
“For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask three-year-olds at the height of the COVID pandemic that we should have let them develop some language skills,” Vance said.
“I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was clearly unable to do the job,” Vance said. “I believed in the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was trying to throw his political opponents in jail rather than win an argument against his political opponents.”
“So at least on some of these conspiracy theories, it turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it,” he said.
Vance also defended Susie Wiles.
“You know why I really love Susie Wiles? Because Susie is who she is in the president’s presence, she’s the same exact person when the president isn’t around,” Vance said.
WATCH:
Susie Wiles responded to the Vanity Fair hit piece.
The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.
Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team.
The truth is the Trump White House has already accomplished more in eleven months than any other President has accomplished in eight years and that is due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade.
None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!
