JD Vance just gave a masterclass on CNN!

In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who've said their neighbors' pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It's possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false.

Do you know what's confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases--like TB and HIV--have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don't know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can't afford to put a roof over their head.

Here is Kamala Harris bragging about giving amnesty to thousands of Haitian migrants.


If you're a reporter, or an activist, who didn't give a shit about these suffering Americans until yesterday, I have some advice:

Spare your outrage for your fellow citizens suffering under Kamala Harris's policies. Be outraged at yourself for letting this happen.

Crime is down in Venezuela because they're sending criminals to the United States. Kamala Harris can't respond to that point because it's true!

"When did America, for the first time maybe in our history, become a net food importer?... 2023, under the policies of Kamala Harris. When Donald Trump was president... America was a net food exporter. We grew more food than we needed... We became dependent on foreign nations for the goods that we need — now we're becoming dependent on foreign nations for the food that our children need to eat. This is INSANITY. We have to be self-reliant."

In Springfield, Ohio, there has been a massive rise in communicable diseases, rent prices, car insurance rates, and crime. This is what happens when you drop 20,000 people into a small community.

Kamala Harris's immigration policy aims to do this to every town in our country.

This week, I had the great honor of meeting and spending time with Jerry Wartski, a 94-year-old Auschwitz survivor.

It's difficult to fathom the courage and strength demonstrated by Jerry and so many others who suffered through the unspeakable depravities of the Holocaust. I'm incredibly grateful to have met him and heard his story.

BREAKING: JD Vance just said Trump will FIRE every single official at the FBI, CIA, DHS, CDC, etc that forced big tech to censor the truth about the 2020 election & Covid

Trump will also strip security clearances from the 51 intelligence officials who labeled Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation.

"Yes, we're going to fire the people who censored. We're going to fire the people who are telling Mark Zuckerberg and all the other technology companies that they needed to censor. Fire the 50 intelligence operatives who said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation."

"Dana, would you like to ask me questions and let me answer them or debate me on these topics? I noticed that when you had Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions you asked."

.J D Vance shares the moment President Trump told him yesterday that he was nearly assassinated again:

"I said 'are you okay' -- He said 'I'm a little mad because I was about to make a birdie putt on the 6th hole and they wouldn't let me finish' -- That is kind of the guy you want to be President of the United States, who is phased by nothing, who is telling jokes afterwards. I was bothered by it more than he was."

Yesterday, Donald J. Trump nearly lost his life. An armed gunman waited for him in the bushes. He brought a go-pro camera to record it. A secret service agent spotted the barrel of a gun through a fence and shot at the gunman. The gunman fled. He was caught. And now we slowly learn about him and his motive.

President Trump is my running mate, and my friend, but he is more importantly a father and grandfather to people who love him very much. I want him to have many more years with his family. (And selfishly, I'd like many more with my own.)

I admire the president for calling for peace and calm. The rhetoric is out of control. It nearly got Steve Scalise and many others killed a few years ago. It nearly got Donald Trump killed twice. But I want to say something about yesterday's news, and how it illuminates the difference between vigorous debate and violent rhetoric.

Here is what we know so far: Kamala Harris has said that "Democracy is on the line" in her race against President Trump. The gunman agreed, and used the exact same phrase. He had a Kamala Harris bumper sticker on his truck. He was obsessed with Ukraine's "fight for Democracy" and absorbed many unhinged views about the Russia-Ukraine war. HIs name is Ryan Routh, and he donated 19 times to Democrat causes and zero to Republican ones.

How do you think the Democrats and their media allies would respond if a 19-time Republican donor tried to kill a Democratic official? It's a question that answers itself. For years, Kamala Harris's campaign surrogates have said things like "Trump has to be eliminated." And how have their media allies responded to the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months?

NBC News called the attempted assassination a "golf club incident." The LA Times told us "Trump Targeted at Golf Club." The USA Today's top of the fold headline is "Hope in America," and they published a preposterous letter to the editor arguing that Trump "brings these assassination attempts on himself." CNN's Dana Bash--who just yesterday bizarrely accused me of inciting a bomb threat--said today that Harris campaign rhetoric didn't motivate Routh even though he echoed their rhetoric explicitly.

PBS's weekend show perfectly illustrates the double standard of Kamala Harris's media friends. After spending 30 seconds on the second assassination attempt on President Trump, they then focused on the real danger: me and President Trump, who are, according to them, personally responsible for bomb threats against Springfield. Of course, I repeatedly condemend those threats. And reports today suggest they came from a foreign country, not--as the media suggested--a deranged Trump fan.

The double standard is breathtaking. Donald Trump and I are, by their account, directly responsible for bomb threats from foreign countries. Why? Because we had the audacity to repeat what residents told us about the problems in their town. Meanwhile, Harris allies call for Trump to be eliminated as the media publishes arguments that he deserved to be shot.

This seems like a double standard. But at a deep level, it is entirely consistent.

Consider Springfield. Citizens are telling us that there are problems. These include the undeniable truths of higher car accidents, unaffordable housing, evictions of residents, overcrowded hospitals, overstressed schools, and rising rates of disease. They also include the infamous pet stories--which, again, multiple people have spoken about (either on video or to me or my staff).

Kamala Harris's first strategy was to ignore these people and their concerns. Yes, she had prevented the deportation of millions of illegal aliens, and some of them made their way to Springfield. But it was a small town with no voice. Some of the local leadership even loved the cheap labor. So the suffering of thousands of American citizens went ignored.

Their next move with these stories is censorship. In Springfield, a psychopath (or a foreign government) calls in a bomb threat, so they blame that on President Trump (and me). The threat of violence is disgraceful of course, yet the media seems to relish it. They cover a bomb threat, but not the rise in murders. They cover the threat, but not the HIV uptick. They cover the threat, not the schools overwhelmed with new kids who don't speak English. They cover the threat, not rising insurance rates or the car accidents that caused them. They cover the threat, not the failures of Kamala Harris's leadership.

The purpose is not to turn down the rhetoric. If anything, covering the bomb threats gives whoever makes them exactly what he wants: attention. The purpose is distraction and shame. How dare you talk about the problems of Haitian migration in Springfield? You're endangering people, simply by discussing the problems of Kamala Harris's policies. It's a form of moral blackmail, designed not to make anyone safe but to shut everyone up.

Springfield is the most recent, but hardly the most egregious example. There was the Hunter Biden laptop story, censored by BigTech. And who can forget that anyone who didn't support Kamala Harris's Ukraine policy was drenched in the blood of Ukrainian children. That last one appears to have had some effect on Routh--the most recent would-be assassin. The message is always the same: don't you dare express an opinion on the public affairs of your nation. The message is: shut up.

This is the difference between debate--even aggressive debate--and censorship. It is one thing to attack Kamala Harris for "destroying the country" and quite another to say that President Trump should be "eliminated." It is one thing to criticize overheated rhetoric, and another to say that a former president has invited an assassination on himself. It is one thing to say that Donald J. Trump's arguments about the election of 2020 are wrong; it is another thing to attempt to remove him from the ballot over it.

It is one thing to say that pets are not, in fact being eaten, and another thing to say that anyone who disagrees is trying to murder people. Dissent, even vigorous dissent, is a great tradition of the United States. Censorship is not.

For the next 7 weeks of this campaign, I will vigorously defend your right to speak your mind. I believe you have every right to criticize me and Donald J. Trump, even if you say terrible or untrue things about us. But when I ask you to "tone down the rhetoric" it's not about being nice--our citizens have every right to be mean, even if I don't like it--or empty platitudes.

Instead, I'm asking all of us to reject censorship. Reject the idea that you can control what other people think and say. Embrace persuasion of your fellow citizens over silencing them--either through the powers of Big Tech or through moral blackmail.

I think this will make our public debate much better. But there's something else. Reject censorship and you reject political violence. Embrace censorship, and you will inevitably embrace violence on its behalf.

The reason is simple. The logic of censorship leads directly to one place, for there is only one way to permanently silence a human being: put a bullet in his brain.

The American media has been caught laundering verified foreign disinformation to smear me and President Trump and it's disgusting.

.J D Vance reacts to the fed cutting interest rates: "Half a point is nothing compared to what Americans have been dealing with for the last four years. When Donald Trump left office, a lot of Americans were getting 3-4% mortgages, now they're getting 8% mortgages, half a point is not going to help those families a whole lot."

"Part of the reason I want Kamala Harris to do more interviews is there's so much comic relief. I really do believe that every time she answers a question, we gain 100,000 votes -- They'll say 'Kamala, give us your specific plan for how you're going to lower grocery, food, and housing prices.' And she'll say 'well, did you know I grew up in a middle class family!'"

"The reason why all these popular things don't happen -- deporting illegal aliens, stopping sending American kids to die in pointless war -- is because right now we don't live in a real democracy. The people who call the shots in this country have further and further divorced themselves from any real democratic accountability."

"There's nothing that pisses off America's leadership class and angers Kamala Harris more than when a working class person in the heartland of this country complains about what a bad job she is doing."

Kamala Harris wants to flood the United States with illegal immigration. It is her explicit goal, and she accomplished it with flying colors as Vice President.

https://t.me/JDVance

Kamala Harris calls anyone a racist if they complain about her open border.

You're not a bad person for wanting to stop the flow of mass illegal immigration and deadly fentanyl.

Americans who want a secure border have nothing to be ashamed of, but Kamala Harris sure does.

My team and I are closely tracking a potentially hazardous chemical leak coming from a railcar near Cleves, Ohio.

Local authorities are working diligently to keep everyone safe. We will continue to monitor the situation until it has been resolved.
