As a man who came up from poverty, he should and does know better. Which just makes this all the more galling.

Vance grew up in the middle class suburbs of Ohio. Hardly poverty.

Fine. He makes a lot of his grandparents’ poverty in his book and the difficulty his mother had as a result.

His mother stole elderly people's medication to feed her drug habit from the nursing home where she worked.

He made up most of his book. It's all novel, not a memoir. The family is middle class.

Vance is full of BS. That book was BS. He lies like he breathes. Remember the "Haitians eating pets." He admitted he used the lie for his own purposes. He's morally vacant & everything he has has been handed to him. Mostly by Peter Thiel.
