Vice President JD Vance’s newest Halloween costume resurrected a skeleton in his closet.

Vance reworked himself into the Harry Potter wizard Albus Dumbledore on Saturday, carrying a lengthy silver wig, flowing grey gown and pointed wizard hat in a video shared to X.

“Vice President Dumbledore here with little Dobby the Elf wishing you a Happy Halloween,” Vance announced in the clip, holding his youngest son, who was dressed as the home elf.

“Have fun. Be safe. Eat a lot of candy.”

But the costume reminded the web of the veep’s previous controversy over a vacation get-up involving now-infamous images allegedly displaying the then-future vice chairman in drag while attending Yale Law School.

Two images of Vance carrying a blonde wig, a gown and make-up surfaced on-line in August 2024, just months before he was elected alongside President Trump.

Conservative Veep JD Vance allegedly cross-dressed for Halloween in 2012.

The pictures, reportedly taken at a Halloween social gathering in 2012, went viral after podcast host Matt Bernstein shared them on X.

Travis Whitfill, a former Yale classmate who helped flow into the pictures, said the footage came from a group chat of Vance’s ex-colleagues and were taken by another scholar.

The images drew recent consideration to Vance’s stances on LGBTQ+ points, with critics highlighting the obvious distinction between his college-era costume and his conservative political positions.

Vance launched the Protect Children’s Innocence Act in the Senate, laws aimed at criminalizing the provision of gender-affirming care to minors.

He has also referred to critics of so-called “Don’t Say Gay” laws as “groomers” and opposed the Respect for Marriage Act, which protects federal recognition of same-sex marriages.

More not too long ago, Vance sparked another spherical of on-line ridicule by taking a swipe at Democratic Texas Senate candidate Jame Talarico’s sexuality during an October marketing campaign rally. Vance has insinuated in the previous that Talarico is homosexual.

Vance, joking when an viewers member professed his love, replied, “I love you too, sir.

“In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I’m the vice president, not James Talarico.”
