White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said in a sweeping interview published Tuesday that Vice President Vance has been a “conspiracy theorist” for a decade.

Wiles made the remarks during a Vanity Fair interview in which she discussed various administration officials’ understanding of how important President Trump’s base of supporters considered the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“The people that really appreciated what a big deal this is are Kash [Patel] and [FBI Deputy Director] Dan Bongino,” Wiles told author Chris Whipple.

“Because they lived in that world. And the vice president, who’s been a conspiracy theorist for a decade,” she continued. “For years, Kash has been saying, ‘Got to release the files, got to release the files.’ And he’s been saying that with a view of what he thought was in these files that turns out not to be right.”

    His system is a bit like Scientology, where you have grades of “enlightenment” (insanity).
    At this point he is working to get higher than just conspiracy theorist and is working to become a conspiracy terrorist.
    The end goal is to become destroyer of worlds.
    It’s a pretty funny game if you are good at it, and find it funny that people hate you.

    And he’s been saying that with a view of what he thought was in these files that turns out not to be right.

    What a polite way to say “unhinged”.
