JD Vance’s cousin blasts him for being Putin’s ‘useful idiot’

Nate Vance, Vice-President JD Vance’s cousin, slammed his cousin and President Donald Trump for their treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the infamous meeting at the Oval Office in February.

Speaking to BBC, Nate shared his disappointment in JD Vance for belittling the Ukrainian leader.

“There’s a certain level of decorum that I expect from political leaders, especially in front of cameras,” he said, adding that the meeting’s handling left him “not happy.”

Nate spent three years volunteering with the Ukrainian military following the war conflict with Russia.

This remark followed after previous comments made by Nate accusing Trump and Vance of acting as “useful idiots” for Russian President Vladimir Putin in their approach to the war.

Analysts considered the meeting between Trump and Vance with Zelenskyy a total debacle after it escalated into a heated argument. Trump criticized Zelenskyy while Vance questioned whether he had shown sufficient appreciation for U.S. assistance.

As the meeting blew up, Trump declared that he’s “determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved.” Then, Trump asked the Ukrainian leader to leave, which he did abruptly, without securing a deal for the U.S. to receive revenue from Ukraine’s minerals in exchange for military aid. Further, Trump warned Zelenskyy against “gambling with World War Three” and being “disrespectful.”

Commenting on the president’s words, Nate Vance said, “Zelensky does a daily or nightly address where he thanks everyone who supports Ukraine.” According to him, Zelensky may not have shown “enough deference to Donald Trump” but expecting such deference was unreasonable given that “my cousin and Donald Trump have been actively working against his initiatives for the past three years.”

Also, Nate commented on the incident when a reporter asked the Ukrainian leader about his choice of outfit, and why he wasn’t wearing a suit.

“Everyone knows why he dresses that way—it’s symbolic. Who cares? It’s a silly hill to die on,” he said. He pointed out that the head of DOGE, tech-billionaire Elon Musk fails to wear a suit while at the Oval Office at certain occasions and opts for a T-shirt instead, but no reporter has ever questioned his choice of clothing.

In an interview with Le Figaro, Vice-President JD Vance’s cousin described JD Vance as “a good guy, intelligent,” but depicted the encounter with Zelenskyy “an ambush of absolute bad faith.”

“I’ve been a Republican my whole life, so this is an odd position for me to take. But I’m passionate about it, and I think we’re handling this issue the wrong way,” he said.

Ever since the incident, Zelenskyy tried to fix the relationship with the States.
