J.D. Vance gave a culture war speech to Leonard Leo group


ProPublica has a copy of the September 21 speech in which Vance criticized the " transnational financial elite" for their cultural sins, calling them sex perverts and objecting to protections for LGBTQ+ people. (You can read or view the half-hour speech on ProPublica's website.) He bemoans the fact that corporate leaders are donating to Democrats. 

Vance does not mention that Leo's network using corporate money has pushed the Supreme Court to issue many pro-corporate, anti-worker rulings. He implies that the entire difference between right and left in the U.S. is cultural and not economic.

"Adding Vance to the ticket bolsters the connections between Leo's network and the Trump 2024 campaign [and with] the Project 2025 blueprint. . . . In a recent TV interview, Vance said the document contained "some good ideas" but claimed that 'most Americans couldn't care less about Project 2025' and that the Trump campaign wasn't affiliated with it."
