NextImg:HATERS! Politico Pearl Clutches Over J.D. Vance's Very Reasonable Speaking 2017 Book Tour Speaking Fees

Oh, Politico. You hypocritical little beast. Today, they are complaining about J.D. Vance requesting speaking fees and plane tickets when he was promoting his best selling novel in 2017. The book was made into a movie so it seems these speaking fees were pretty fair.

JD Vance requested first-class flights, private cars and speaking fees as high as $40,000 from Midwestern public universities during his 2017 book tour — with one university breaking off negotiations for a campus visit in part over the fee.

Vance’s requests, negotiated through a speaker’s bureau and talent agency and documented in emails obtained by a public records request and provided to POLITICO, offer a window into his meteoric rise following the release of his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," at a moment when his public comments about Donald Trump stood in stark contrast to what is today his pugilistic defense of his running mate.
