美国副总统JD·万斯在基督教播客中表示,他对反基督存在于世界上"不会感到惊讶",称"我不会感到惊讶,如果反基督正在我们中间行走"1。
万斯的保守派作家朋友罗德·德雷赫为其辩护,称这类信念在美国共和党选民和基督教徒中"非常、非常普遍"1。德雷赫指出,前总统罗纳德·里根曾发表过类似评论,并被其选民视为"完全正常"1。
万斯本人在播客中还强调了个人责任,表示"我必须对我的妻子好。我必须对我的孩子好。我必须尽可能地为美利坚合众国做一个好领导人"1。
据悉,万斯于2019年皈依天主教,时年30多岁1。他将在周四下午举行任职副总统以来的首次白宫新闻发布会1。
U.S. Vice President JD Vance discussed eschatological and Antichrist-related religious views during an appearance on a Christian podcast, stating he would not be surprised if the Antichrist were present in the world today.1 "I wouldn't be surprised if the Antichrist is walking among us," Vance said on the program.1
Conservative writer Rod Dreher, described as a friend of the Vice President, defended the remarks to the BBC.1 Dreher characterized such beliefs as widespread among American Republican voters and Christians, arguing that "this is a very, very common belief in Christianity."1 He further pointed to former President Ronald Reagan, who made similar comments that were viewed as "completely normal" by his supporters, suggesting that Vance's statements should not damage his standing.1
Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019 in his thirties, is scheduled to hold his first White House press briefing as Vice President on Thursday afternoon.1 In the podcast appearance, Vance also emphasized his personal commitments, saying "I have to be good to my wife. I have to be good to my kids. I have to be as good a leader for the United States of America as I possibly can be."1
