JD Vance's Yale Law School Classmates Trying To Derail His Political Career

Sigh. So Yale Law School’s own J.D. Vance was selected as Donald Trump’s running mate yesterday. It’s a victory for ass-kissers everywhere, and those who haven’t spent the last few years writing about the very junior senator from Ohio are trying to figure out what the maybe vice president is all about.
Josh McLaurin, a Georgia state senator, was actually Vance’s roommate in law school, and they famously remained in contact after graduation. He posted on social media saying that Vance is “angry and vindictive” and a “perfect fit for Trump’s revenge.”
In case you were unclear how McLaurin *really* feels about Vance, he concludes by saying “JD’s rise is a triumph for angry jerks everywhere.”

But the best part is, McLaurin isn’t the only Yale Law classmate out there making Vance look petty AF. In 2022, fellow Yalie and and self-described Vance BFF Jamil Javani (who is a piece of work in his own right) said that the critical panning of the movie adaptation of Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy, was the “last straw” that turned Vance to the far right. This gives some of the best insight into what turned Vance’s thinking on Trump from “America’s Hitler” to his running mate.

... I'm happy to contemplate how this will completely derail Vance's budding political career.
Maybe he'll get a job at Faux Noise after this? I don't know and don't care.
Chump's goose will be cooked and that's all that matters to me.
