   #JDVance Desperately Tries to Give #Trump Credit for Prisoner Swap

   Trump’s team is pathetically trying to make the #Russia #PrisonerExchange all about him.

   After #POTUS Joe #Biden on Thurs announced a deal to free American #hostages in Russia, #Vance somehow tried to give Trump the credit.

     He appears to be echoing #Trump’s comments from May that only he could free WSJ reporter #EvanGershkovich, claiming that “Vladimir #Putin, President of #Russia, will do that for me, but not for anyone else, & WE WILL BE PAYING NOTHING!”

     But this was easily disproved Thurs after the release of the hostages…. #Nationalsecurity adviser #JakeSullivan was asked about #Vance’s claim…,& he dismissed the idea.

     “I don’t follow,” Sullivan replied. [best reply to a Trump &/or #JDVance quote ever]

     “But we have to ask ourselves, why are they coming home? I think it’s because bad guys all over the world recognize Donald #Trump’s about to be back in office, so they’re cleaning house,” #Vance said. “That’s a good thing. I think it’s a testament to Donald Trump’s strength.” [huh?]

     The Ohio senator isn’t making any sense here.

     #JDVance’s initial reaction to the news began *normally* [for him], in an interview w/CNN’s Steve Contorno.

     “Look, I think it’s great news, at least what little we know. We certainly want these Americans to come back home. It was ridiculous that they were in prison to begin with,” the #Republican VP nom said, before going in a completely different direction.
