Vance on DOGE Staffer Who Quit Over Racist Tweets: ‘Bring Him Back’

Vice President J.D. Vance on Friday said he supported the rehiring of a DOGE staffer who quit after being linked to racist posts he made on X under a pseudonym.

“I obviously disagree with some of [Marko] Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life,” Vance wrote on X. “We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever. So, I say bring him back. If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.”

Elez, 25, quit on Thursday amid questions from The Wall Street Journal about links to a deleted social media account that advocated for racism and eugenics, according to the Journal’s subsequently published story.
