Vice President JD Vance just shared his thoughts on whether or not aliens exist, telling conservative podcaster Benny Johnson he had a more spiritual take on what’s going on when it comes to UFOs.
During an interview posted Saturday, the “Hillbilly Elegy” author said he was “more curious than anybody” about government research into the possibility of life on other planets, but added, “I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion.”
Johnson couldn’t let Vance leave it at that.
After being pressed to share more, the vice president said, “Well, look, I think that celestial beings who fly around, who do weird things to people. I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, everything is otherworldly, to describe it as aliens.”
“I mean, every great world religion, including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there and there are things that are very difficult to explain,” said Vance, who grew up an atheist and converted to Catholicism as an adult.
