Where she says: "Whatever you think about Mr. Vance, the working class champion who is also a venture capitalist millionaire, his patron and politics, the reason he, at age 39, has risen from a guy who was only famous for writing an autobiography to now being the Republican nominee for Vice president of the United States. It’s because of Peter Thiel, because of a handful of really, really, really radical tech billionaires, most explicitly Mr. Thiel, but also some of the others." And more see below:
Thiel then pumped $15 million into a JD Vance for Senate race in Ohio that Mr. Vance otherwise had absolutely no shot at. It was the largest amount ever given to boost a single Senate candidate ever. And it worked. Peter Thiel created a Senate candidate out of whole cloth, especially once Thiel personally introduced Vance, personally introduced Vance to Donald Trump, literally walked JD Vance into Donald Trump’s office, and helped convince Trump to endorse Vance.
Despite the fact that Vance, just a few years earlier, had called Trump reprehensible and called him immoral and absurd, who had wondered if Trump was, quote, ‘America’s Hitler.’ Nevertheless, holding Peter Thiel’s hand was enough to get JD Vance, Donald Trump’s endorsement. And now, just 18 months after Peter Thiel put him in the Senate. Peter Thiel, Peter Thiel has now got his guy, JD Vance, onto Trump’s ticket as his running mate.
