Author and longtime GOP political operative Stuart Stevens is a tradcon in perpetuity (traditional conservative) who, formerly architect of Mitt Romneypresidential campaign, opposed the emergence of Donald Trump as Republican standard bearer from the start.

Now Stevens takes aim at Trump’s running mate J.D. Vanceand accusing the GOP VP candidate of lying about schools and fueling fears that radical agendas will demean education and hinder America’s students.

(NOTE: Vance himself recently admitted, after being accused of spreading the now-debunked fictional story that Ohio-based Haitians were eating pets, that he was willing to “create stories ” – regardless of their accuracy – to draw attention to his political arguments.)

In the video below, Vance claims that American public schools have abandoned the teaching of arithmetic and other basic skills, allegedly in favor of “indoctrination” of children with “radical” views » from the left.

Refuting Vance’s claims, Stevens offers to donate $100,000 to charity if Vance can back up his claims — and name a school that doesn’t teach students that 5 + 5 is 10. Or a school that does, as the Vance claims there are “87 genders.”

Stevens – who worked as a strategist for hardline Republicans like the Indiana senator. Dan Coats (Director of Intelligence under Trump), Senator from Iowa. Chuck Grassleyand the senator from Missouri. Roy Blount – also slips in a dig at Vance’s avowed isolationism and alleged fealty to Russia, qualifying his promise by saying he will donate only to Vance’s favorite “non-Russian charity.”

Stevens, who shared the messages below, believes his Grand Old Party has been degraded by its attraction to autocracy and ruined by a bilateralism that allows for the tolerance – and even acceleration – of dictatorial Putin and Russia.

Stevens, like many Americans who abhor the fallacious promotion of a false equivalence between Russian aggressors and Ukrainian victims, also shared the exchange below, which the lieutenant colonel shared: Alexandre Vindman described as a “sociopath”.
