@cbsnews: Vice President JD Vance defended special envoy Steve Witkoff after the diplomat faced backlash on Wednesday for calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a "humanitarian" after he released 74-year-old U.S. citizen Stephen Hubbard, who had been imprisoned in Russia for four years. "I care much less about what Steve said than about the fact that he is bringing an American hostage home to his family," Vance said. "We should all be celebrating that, not be complaining about what Steve Witkoff said in order to get it done."

Steve Witkoff is a real estate lawyer. But he sure as hell is not a diplomat.

He could have chosen other words. And he said this after he was released.

JD: “The ends justify the means” 😳 Oh boy. He’s saying their administration DOESN’T CARE that they do and say terrible unforgivable things, as long as THEY think it was ‘worth it’. 😬
