A conservative columnist laid into former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), on MSNBC Wednesday for his decision to write a blurb for a book by a far-right extremist who helped generate the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory. about D.C. politicians sex-trafficking children in the basement of a pizza shop with no basement.

There’s no way that Vance didn’t know who he was signing on for, columnist David French argued.

“I want to start with this, because I was thinking about the fact that you and I work in a world in which people ask to blurb books,” said anchor Chris Hayes. “You’ve written books, I’ve written books. sometimes people will blurb books without reading them. I never do that, precisely so that I’m never in this position. But I do feel like if someone asked me to blurb a book whose title was ‘Unhuman,’ I’d be like, ‘what’s this one about?’ I feel like that’s not — I feel like that’s not really something I want to endorse.”

“Yeah, and also you have to realize that J.D. Vance is a very online guy and he knows good and well who Jack Posobiec is,” said French. “He knows good and well what Jack Posobiec stands for. So this is a bold choice to endorse a book by a guy who spread the Pizzagate lie that ultimately ended up in a violent incident at the pizza restaurant. That’s a choice to make.”

“That’s right.,” concurred Hayes.

“Also let’s not forget, for example, he has praised, in the past, Alex Jones,” said French. “He dove into — he made a choice in 2020, 2021 and after, to dive really into the hard online right and it’s coming back to bite him, as it should. And people are being exposed to, really, the bizarre elements of the online right, bizarre elements that J.D. Vance has participated in and promoted for some time now.”
