JD Vance Says UFOs Are Actually Demons

The vice president of the richest and most powerful country in the world:

JD Vance Says UFOs Are Actually Demons

"I think that one of the Devil's great tricks is to convince people he never existed."

(Title of my thread is a direct copy/paste of the article's title. I am not editorializing.) This is a fair way to summarize his beliefs. I thought it was going to be a clickbait title. From the article:

But the discussion got weird, as Vance volunteered unprompted that he doesn't think they're aliens, insisting that he "thinks their demons, anyway."

"I think that celestial beings who fly around to do weird things to people… I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, everything is otherworldly to described as aliens…" Vance said winding up.

"I mean, every great world religion including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there and there are things that are very difficult to explain," said Vance. "And I naturally go, when I hear about sort of extra-natural phenomenon, that's where I go to is the Christian understanding that, you know, there's a lot of good out there, but there's also some evil out there."

Literally the man who is second in charge of the USA.

I actually remember Elizondo making the claim several years ago but in regards to very high level members of the US armed forces.

The concept goes back to 2010 according to Wikipedia. Maybe that's where Elizondo got it from as well.

Final Events: Demonic UFOs, Alien Abductions, the Government, and the Afterlife is a 2010 pseudohistory book by Nick Redfern.[1]​ The book originated tales of the "Collins Elite", an alleged group of US high-level policymakers who believe UFOs are demonic rather than extraterrestrial.[2]​: x ​ In the text, the author is explicit that the contents are not demonstrably factual.[2]​: x​

In case this sounds far-fetched:

Fact Check: True, Vance did make the statement

The online claim that JD Vance said aliens are demons during his interview with Benny Johnson is true. Clips from the interview show Vance making the alleged statement.

The VP said during the interview, "I don't think they're aliens, I think they're demons anyway, but that's a long discussion", as Johnson told Vance

Oh oops I didn't mean to leave the source out of my post! Thank you for providing one @Ann K !! I also updated my post with the source

I also just saw in the comments that the person interviewing him has previously been "duped" to do covert work for Russia. He should get a bonus for this one - that's a very creative way for the US to embarrass ourselves.

How Russian operatives covertly hired U.S. influencers to create viral videos

Tenet publicly launched in November 2023 with six contributors well-known in right-wing media, including Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, David Rubin and Lauren Southern. The videos they create for Tenet regularly cover conservative staples including "migrant gangs," transgender people, online censorship and attacks on Vice President Harris and President Biden.

Thanks @john.phil and @Ann K for fixing the citing in my post. I should have included a direct link to the video like john, but I forgot to source it all (thanks to Ann for pointing that out!).

I rate my source citing as 0/10. Worst. Citing. Ever. I think I was still stupefied from seeing that interview.
