On the eve of the vice presidential debate, Rachel Maddow used her MSNBC show to speak to the fundamental, right-wing political philosophy animating Republican candidate Sen. JD Vance.
"I have debated whether or not to talk about this on the show, because I feel like it, it gives me the ughs,” Maddow explained. “But I also feel like this is an important thing to know about the Republican vice presidential nominee and what he has to offer and why he was brought onto the ticket.”
Maddow played clips of Vance attacking the government, as well as institutions of higher education which he has described as places filled with “deceit and lies, not to the truth.” She showed some of his many calls to “seize the institutions of the left.”
