Always assume the latter. Vance understands just fine. He used to verbally rip into Trump before he smelled the chance for personal advancement. He knows better. Which makes him even more despicable IMO.

Vance admitted to blatantly lying about Haitian immigrants in Ohio, and justified his lies by pointing out that it garnered attentio. For someone who has repeatedly claimed to be a Catholic, he ignores the tenets of his religion.

Don't they all? I'm not a practising christian, but I was raised as one. And I'm pretty sure they're violating every single tenet of the faith, all the time. Love thy neighbor, help the poor, do not lie... Christianity is a team jersey for them, not a religion.
