VP Vance Pushes Back On The Gerald Ford Comparison

On the 11/12/25 edition of The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, host Lawrence O’Donnell made a striking observation: current Vice President J.D. Vance’s near-silence on the swirling Jeffrey Epstein files scandal mirrors the posture then-Vice President Gerald Ford assumed as Richard Nixon’s presidency was collapsing under the weight of Watergate. O’Donnell pointed out that Ford, sensing the sinking of Nixon’s Presidency, deliberately kept his head down—he knew the ghosts of Nixon would dog his tenure if he didn’t distance himself.

By the same logic, O’Donnell argued, Vance appears to be doing exactly that: he knows the Epstein files may blow up and run Donald Trump out of office, and thus is doing everything he can to not get sucked into the scandal, to avoid becoming the next Ford.

As expected, social media erupted following O’Donnell’s segment. I posted a clip of the show, and to my surprise the reaction came from none other than the Vice President himself. That’s how provocative the comparison proved.

In his response, Vance strongly objected to O’Donnell’s suggestion that he was intentionally silent about the Epstein scandal. Vance pointed out that he had addressed the issue in prior TV appearances—citing his interview on Hannity scheduled for 11/13/25, which coincided with the date I posted the segment.

Interestingly, in that very 11/13/25 show O’Donnell claimed Vance had in fact ignored the Epstein issue entirely—and reaffirmed: “He’s still Gerald Ford.”

Now that the “Gerald Ford” comparison has caught Vance’s attention—and by implication, the President’s—it will be fascinating to watch how it plays out going forward.

Growing Calls For Sen Mike Lee To Resign

Calls are growing for Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) to resign following the very insensitive social media post he put up right after news broke out that someone had assassinated a state lawmaker in Minnesota.

Instead of waiting on further news from Minnesota about the motive of the shooter, Senator Lee took to X, and without evidence, claimed Marxism made the shooter commit the heinous crime.

News reports have since established that the shooter is a registered Republican, and a huge supporter of President Trump—totally contradicting Sen Lee’s attempt to depict him as some far left lunatic.

Beyond just being totally wrong on the facts surrounding the motive, people are also very upset with Senator Lee for his total lack of humanity regarding the issue—jumping right into politicizing the incident with zero regard whatsoever about the grieving family.

It will be interesting to see whether Senator Lee survives calls for his resignation. Notably, he has since taken down (deleted) his insensitive social media posts regarding the incident. He’s also taking a lot of incoming from the media in his home state Utah. Will that prove be enough pressure to force him to step aside? Hmm, only time will tell.
