"J.D. Vance, the new GOP nominee for vice president, used his first interview since being named to the ticket to explain why he once called his running mate − Donald Trump − "America's Hitler."

Coinciding with President Joe Biden's highly anticipated NBC interview, Vance told Fox News he was initially wary of Trump in 2016.

"I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler," Vance wrote in a 2016 message to a friend.

Monday, the Ohio senator said he has changed his mind."
