There’s Another Link Between Trump’s Campaign And Project 2025
Sen. JD Vance (reserves the longevity of a forest, conservatives need to burn down these institutions if we’re to preserve the American Way of life,” the book’s summary states.
Roberts’ book appears to have initially been called “Dawn’s Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America,” according to a page for the book on Harper Collins’ website. But the name is different on the book’s Bookshop and Amazon pages – changed to the slightly less inflammatory “Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America.”
Both versions of the book’s cover state that Vance wrote the foreword. He’s also the top “blurb,” praising Roberts for articulating “a genuinely new future for conservatism.”
“We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets,” Vance raves in the blurb. “In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”
Robert has used similarly violent rhetoric recently himself.
“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” he said in an interview that surfaced earlier this month.
As recently as Wednesday morning, Trump was attempting to disclaim any association with Project 2025.
“I have nothing to do with, and know nothing about, Project 25,” he claimed on Truth Social Wednesday.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment about Vance’s contribution to Roberts’ book.
Trump’s vice presidential pick is known for his numerous ties to hard-right voices within the conservative movement, and in particular within Silicon Valley. His embrace of Roberts’ book is yet another link between the Trump campaign and Project 2025.
