Eyeliner-wearing Ohio Senator JD Vance last month abruptly broke off talks with Democrats on a bipartisan bill prohibiting insurance companies from charging new moms co-pays or other expenses related to childbirth while he was being vetted by convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign to join the fat bastard’s ticket as running mate, the Washington Post reports.
The sudden shift made all the more obvious by the fact that Vance had been working with Virginia Senator Tim Kaine on the bill since June 2023. Vance also backed out of supporting another bipartisan bill cracking down on fees charged by Visa and Mastercard with similarly curious timing.
