JD Vance targeted ambassador appointees with anti-LGBTQ questionnaire
Sen. JD Vance presented a “questionnaire” last year to career State Department nominees for ambassador to intimidate them — or thwart their nominations.
It was recently leaked without comment from Vance. More than a neutral questionnaire, this was a loaded invitation to rumble on the far right of the Republican Party from a senator who does not serve on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The Washington Post headline de-gayed the story, “Leaked memo shows JD Vance’s anti-woke ideology…”. In fact, the questionnaire was focused solely on LGBTQ issues.
Professionally nurtured and funded with a $15 million donation by gay billionaire Peter Thiel, vice presidential candidate Vance is caught up in the contradiction between having a billionaire gay business and political mentor while launching a searing, anti-gay questionnaire targeting career State Department nominees for ambassadorial posts worldwide.
