‘Fundamentally Barbaric’: Vance Slams Walz for Minnesota Law on Babies Who Survive Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice presidential nominee JD Vance slammed his opponent Tim Walz on Tuesday night over Minnesota laws that no longer protects babies who survive abortions.

Vance pointed out that Walz, as governor of Minnesota, repealed a bipartisan measure that formerly required doctors to report whether abortions resulted in the live birth of a baby, what actions were taken to preserve the life of that baby, and whether the baby survived.

Walz’s action also stripped the state’s requirement that measures be taken to preserve the baby’s “life and health,” replacing it merely with a requirement for “care.”

“That is fundamentally barbaric,” Vance told Walz.

Walz denied the allegation.

JD Vance’s Mic Cut As He Tries To Counter Moderator’s Fact Check On Springfield Migrants

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance’s microphone was cut by CBS moderators Tuesday night during the first vice presidential debate as he attempted to fact-check claims about Haitian migrants being sent to Springfield, Ohio.

During the debate, CBS moderator Margaret Brennan questioned the candidates on illegal immigration, and Vance expressed concern about migrants’ impact on Americans, citing the up to 20,000 Haitian migrants that have flooded into Springfield, Ohio, over the past three years. After Walz rebutted, Brennan tried to move on, adding that the Haitian migrants had “legal status,” leading Vance to interrupt by challenging the network’s fact-checking rule, noting the migrants entered the country via asylum applications.

“Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status,” Brennan said.

“But Margaret … I think it‘s important to turn now to the economy. The rules were that you guys weren‘t going to fact-check, and since you‘re fact-checking me, I think it‘s important to say what‘s actually going on,” Vance responded. “So there‘s an application called the CBP One app — where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years — ”

Brennan jumped in to “thank” Vance for his response and attempted to move on, but Vance could be heard trying to finish, criticizing Harris for her role in the illegal immigration crisis.

Trump-Vance Campaign Drops New Ad Calling Out ‘Kamala & the Democrats’ for Being ‘the Party of Violence’

/2 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, approximately 24 hours after there was a second assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump, the Trump-Vance campaign released an ad highlighting how “KAMALA & THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF VIOLENCE.”

The ad starts off with examples featuring Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. During her 2018 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Harris is shown saying, “Does one of us have to come out alive?” when asked by the host whom she’d rather be stuck on an elevator with: Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions. Her signature cackle is also prominently displayed.

In addition to Biden referencing on multiple occasions how he’d like to take Trump “behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,” there are also examples featuring Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Hillary Clinton, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), former Attorney General Eric Holder, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Madonna.

The ad has been shared on the Team Trump Facebook and Instagram pages as well. Also on Monday, the Trump-Vance campaign sent out an exhaustive list of how “Democrats’ Rhetoric Inspired Another Attempt On President Trump’s Life.”

Vance Apparently Chastised for Out-of-Line Comments on Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. J.D. Vance says he won’t try to speak for Donald Trump in the future after the vice presidential nominee expressed a contradicting viewpoint on a federal abortion ban.

The admission came after a moment at Tuesday’s debate where the former president broke with his running mate and said they have not yet discussed a veto on banning abortion at a national level.

‘I think that I’ve learned my lesson on speaking for the president before he and I have actually talked about an issue,’ Vance said in an interview with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker on Sunday morning.

The Ohio Senator said his point last month was to reiterate that Trump has been clear he does not support the idea of a national ban – but that he also thinks the issue would never cross his desk because it wouldn’t get through Congress in the first place.

Asked at the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Tuesday if he would veto a bill putting a federal ban on abortions, Trump was noncommittal. . .

But when the ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis pressed him on Vance’s remarks just weeks earlier, the ex-president broke with his running mate

‘I didn’t discuss it with J.D. in all fairness,’ Trump said on stage. ‘J.D. – and I don’t mind if he has a certain view – but I think he was speaking for me. But I really didn’t.’ (Read more from “Vance Apparently Chastised for Out-of-Line Comments on Abortion” HERE)

Vance Says Trump Would Veto a National Abortion Ban

/4 Comments/in , /by

Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, said Saturday that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if Congress were to pass one.

Asked on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” about GOP lawmakers like Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who would want Trump to advocate for and sign an abortion ban, Vance told moderator Kristen Welker that Trump has “explicitly” said he would veto a ban.

“I mean, if you’re not supporting it, as the president of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it,” Vance argued.

Trump has changed his position on abortion policy over the years.

Asked on a tarmac in Atlanta in April whether he would sign a national abortion ban if it passed through Congress, he simply answered, “No.” But he didn’t clarify at the time what he considered a “ban.” (Read more from “Vance Says Trump Would Veto a National Abortion Ban” HERE)

Runway Standoff: Trump’s VP Pick Approaches Kamala Harris at Airport (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (OH), unlike establishment media reporters, is unafraid to question Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris about her radical record and coup-turned-campaign.

Vance approached Air Force Two, which Harris was onboard, during a tense standoff on Tuesday in which the current and perhaps future vice president occupied the same Wisconsin runway.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance said, Semafor reported.

Vance did not speak to Harris but said he “wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why does she refuse to answer questions.”

Vance Trolls Harris at Air Force Two

By The Hill. Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) approached Air Force Two “to check out” the plane after both he and Vice President Harris landed at the same airport in Wisconsin.

When he told gathered press what he was doing, Vance also attacked Harris for not answering questions from the media.

“I figured that I would come by and get a good look at the plane because hopefully it’s going to be my plane in a few months,” Vance said in front of Air Force Two. “I also thought you guys may get lonely, because the VP doesn’t answer questions from reporters.”

Harris’s campaign responded to Vance approaching Air Force Two by calling it “weird.” (Read more from “Vance Trolls Harris at Air Force Two” HERE)

CNN Had to Correct Harris Surrogate on Air After Getting JD Vance’s​ Military Record Wildly Wrong

/1 Comment/in , /by

Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.) had quite the misfire while talking about the military record of GOP vice presidential pick Senator JD Vance, prompting CNN host Jim Acosta to correct her while on air.

While discussing the criticisms the Democrats’ new pick for vice president, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has received for quitting the National Guard right before his unit was deployed for combat in Iraq, Smith claimed Vance had never served in the military.

“Well, here is Tim Walz, who enlisted when he was 17 years old. He served in the National Guard for 24 years. And I’m not aware of any military service that JD Vance has ever served. So let’s just make the comparison there,” Smith said.

“Well, he was in the Marines,” Acosta interjected.

“OK, pardon me for that,” Smith replied.

Nice: Creepy Tim Walz Uses Fake Internet Sex Meme to Mock JD Vance (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) referred to a crude sex joke based on a fake meme to make fun of rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.

“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said, to cheers. Then he added: “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”

The crowd roared with laughter.

“You see what I did there?” he said, clearly aware of the joke.

The joke refers to a meme that claims Vance had sex with a couch, based on a fake citation from his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

Kamala Harris’s Campaign Attacks Jd Vance for Supporting Child Tax Credits (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is seemingly attacking Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, for his support of expanding the child tax credit and making it permanent.

“JD Vance’s attacks on childless Americans is even vile. He called for higher taxes on those without children,” Ammar Moussa, Harris’s rapid response director, wrote on X referring to Vance’s longtime support for the child tax credit and expanding its benefits to American parents.

Harris’s campaign headquarters’ X account also posted a clip of Vance describing his support for an expanded child tax credit to ease the burden of taxes on American families, including large families.

“If you are making $100,000, $400,000 a year and you’ve got three kids, you should pay a different, lower tax rate than if you are making the same amount of money and you don’t have any kids,” Vance said in 2021 during an interview with Charlie Kirk. “It’s that simple.”

Here’s Why Kamala Harris’ Post About JD Vance is Particularly Awful

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump on Monday picked Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate, and as we’ve been covering since, the Democrats have been going after him nonstop. The Democrats have especially tried to tie Trump and Vance to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, even when this has repeatedly been confirmed to not be the case. It goes deeper, though.

In a Wednesday morning post, Vice President Kamala Harris not only once again connected Vance to Project 2025, she had the audacity to claim Vance “will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country.”

President Joe Biden’s X account also shared Harris’ post, with yet another message about Project 2025. The Democrats’ X account reposted both Harris and Biden. . .

Such a charge about one’s loyalty is a harsh one to be making about anybody It’s particularly so in Vance’s case, given that he’s a veteran who served in the United States Marine Corps during the Iraq War. Neil W. McCabe at our sister site of RedState also put out a piece highlighting Vance’s military career not long after the Monday announcement was made.

This combative tone stands in stark contrast to how Harris had reportedly just called Vance days before to leave a message congratulating him and welcoming him to the race.
