Vance sacrificed his children to Peter Thiel, the child rapist. Or made a promise… Or whatever these christian nazis do.
Simplest explanation.

Thiel is currently in the limelight for having mentored, financed, and boosted Vice President Vance. In sum, Thiel employed Vance in his Silicon Valley venture capital firm right after law school, helped Vance start his own venture capital firm, introduced Vance to Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2021 and got Trump’s endorsement for Vance’s Senate race, and contributed a crucial $15 million to Vance’s Senate campaign.
Does anyone know how Vance ended up in silicon valley after law school? Was he recruited at Yale?
I have wondered for a while if Peter Thiel saw him as a chance for a rube/dark Jimmy Carter.

I think you’re focusing too much on the “Silicon Valley” aspect and not the “Venture Capital Firm” aspect. VC companies exist far beyond just Silicon Valley, and they attract a lot of people (especially lawyers) from places like Harvard and Yale.

I ended up looking into it
Vance and Thiel’s relationship dates back to 2011, when the senator met Thiel following a talk the venture capitalist gave at Yale Law School that Vance has characterized as “the most significant moment of my time” at the institution, according to a blog post he wrote for Catholic magazine The Lamp.
