Claim: Authentic footage shows 2024 U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance as a young boy screaming and preaching religious verses on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Rating: About this rating False Context The boy who appeared on show in 1988 was Duffey Strode, the son of a preacher, not Vance. A caption above the video, which was posted on July 28, 2024, said, "JD Vance footage when he was a teenager." In this Oprah Show clip from 1988, Duffey passionately delivers a Bible verse, and the audience, seemingly frightened and bewildered by what they just heard, ask Duffey if he understands the deeper meaning. In 1988, Duffy Strode demonstrated his preaching not just for Winfrey but for talk show hosts Larry King and Sally Jessy Raphael.
