Trump is Talking Unity But He Just Picked One of the Most Divisive People in the Party

After the assassination attempt Donald Trump talks about unity, pretty ironic since he is single-handedly responsible for the division across this country. But his VP pick tells us that is a bunch of baloney.
Vance is a pit bull willing to change gears to protect and grow his power base and he is a vicious one. Only a few years ago he called Trump a crook and a grifter. He claims to be a man of the people but in his novel Hillbilly Elegy he spreads stereotypes about the regular folks who live in Appalachia.
