Man arrested for attempted break-in of JD Vance's Ohio home identifies as trans, father is Dem donor: report

( Post Millennial )

William DeFoor, the man arrested for smashing several windows at Vice President JD Vance's home in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a trans-identified male who goes by the name “Julia DeFoor.” This comes after DeFoor was identified as the suspect in that incident on Monday. 

He identifies as transgender and his father, a surgeon, is a Democrat donor, states the Daily Mail. DeFoor was previously arrested for other crimes related to vandalism in April and was sentenced to treatment at a mental health facility for two years in addition to paying $5,500 in restitution.

A Facebook profile shows a picture of DeFoor, but with the name "Julia." Additionally, an Instagram profile bearing the same name and likeness says "Julia DeFoor" goes by "she/her" pronouns. 

DeFoor’s father, William R. DeFoor Jr, who works at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, has also made several donations to Democrats in the past. The doctor, who goes by Bob DeFoor on Facebook, is friends with the "Julia DeFoor" social media account. 

The Facebook account with the name "Julia DeFoor" has multiple liked pages, one of them including "Heartland Trans Wellness."

DeFoor, 26, was arrested by Secret Service after allegedly vandalizing a USSS car in the driveway of Vance's Ohio home as well as smashing multiple windows with a hammer. He has been charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass, and vandalism, according to public records.

After DeFoor was taken into custody by police on Monday, Vice President JD Vance said of the incident, "I appreciate everyone's well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I'm grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly. We weren't even home as we had returned already to DC.

"One request to the media: we try to protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life of public service. In that light, I am skeptical of the news value of plastering images of our home with holes in the windows," Vance added.
