About this episode
Earlier this summer President Donald Trump selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate in the ongoing race for President. Vance, who grew up poor, from a broken home which included substance abuse and domestic violence, overcame a sense of hopelessness and despair to graduate from “The Ohio State University” and Yale Law School. Immediately upon being selected as Trump’s Vice-Presidential running mate, he was attacked as weird. His military service in a warzone, Iraq, was marginalized and held up for ridicule.
J.D. Vance outlined his life’s experience in a book, Hillbilly Elegy, released 2016. The book gives insight as to who J.D. Vance is and his experiences being poor and white in America. Join me as I discuss the book and the inaccurate reporting that motivated me to read Vance’s book.
