Donald Trump’s vice president pick, JD Vance, is under fire again after video of him trash talking Olympic star athlete Simone Biles on Fox News resurfaces.
“An old interview clip featuring JD Vance has resurfaced shortly after Simone Biles made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics, in which the potential vice president criticized the media’s response towards her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics.
