Vice President J.D. Vance said Tuesday that he only believes conspiracy theories that are “true,” in response to a question about a report that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles called him a “conspiracy theorist.”
Vanity Fair published its interview with Wiles on Tuesday, where she was quoted as saying that Vance “has been a conspiracy theorist for ten years,” although she later called the article became a “disingenuously framed article” about the administration. During a speech in Pennsylvania, Vance told a reporter for The Washington Post that he believed many things that the media thought were conspiracies but later turned out to be true.
“Sometimes I'm a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in conspiracy theories that are true. And by the way, Susie and I have been joking about this for a long time, both privately and publicly. time. For example, back in 2020 I believed in a crazy conspiracy theory about how stupid masks for three year olds in the middle of the COVID pandemic, which we should really allow they develop some language skills. I believed this crazy conspiracy theory that was being covered by the media and government. “I emphasized the fact that Joe Biden clearly failed to do the job.”
“And I believed the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was trying to quit his political opponents in prison instead of winning an argument against their political opponents,” Vance continued.So, for at least some of these conspiracy theories, it turns out that the conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it.” (RELATED: J.D.

After the article was published, Wiles said the report left out “important context” that would likely “paint a very chaotic and negative narrative” about the administration.
“The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed article about me and the best President, White House staff and Cabinet in history. Significant context was ignored and much of what I and others said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading, that this was done to create an extremely chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team,” Wiles wrote on X.
Corporate media representatives, including CNN Jake Tappersaid concerns about former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline were a “right-wing conspiracy.” Several retail outlets, including Post and Politicianinitially framed the theory that Covid-19 originated in a laboratory as a conspiracy until the US intelligence community and scientists deemed it credible in early 2021.
