So we're to believe you can say ANYTHING without consequences now??

[bcfortenberry]

Never seen a Senator put the lives of their constituents at risk for political gain quite so blatantly.

[Plutoman]

the problem with this video is the people who need to hear it, aren't going to be watching this because they don't want to know or listen to the origin of the truth

[anneolsen]

No, I heard them say, myself, much about how well the Haitians have contributed to that community and they are glad for it.

[stevesistrunk]

And people want this type of leadership for our country?!? Really????

[allisonfrederickharteis]

I hope that Vance isn’t reelected as senator next time he is up for reelection. This sure is shining a light on his character and honesty.

[jockyoung]

What does Trump care if he is hurting people? He is getting attention, which is all he has ever cared about.

[letsRegulateSociopaths]

So Vance has proved why he was chosen as running mate. PATHOLOGICAL LIAR

[N.a.n.c.y]

With a senator like Vance, OHIO is so Misrepresented! Vote him out OHIO!!

[curiousnerdkitteh]

I wonder if Ohio will vote for Republicans this year. This sounds a risky strategy. But we know they aren't trying to win just by votes but by f*scism and voter restriction laws and practices. Register, vote early, and check your status- often! And make sure you date those envelopes and ballots correctly!

Vance’s non-pology is rich. His fall from grace will be harsh when it, karma, comes for him.

[cosminion]

Shady Vance is a horrible human being based on what he keeps repeating.

[dcspace]

Hopefully there are decent people in Springfield to put this nonsense and lies down!

[LincolnBigCats]

That community should file a class action lawsuit. 💙 Vote these vile folks out of office!

[rowlakacitypoppers]

If only Trump was never allowed to run and just sentenced to prison, this country would not be going through this.

[Bodharas]

What the heck is wrong with him? What kind of psychopath do you have to be to just keep on tripling down on a silly dangerous lie? They've both have completely lost their marbles.

[OtaconProductionsUSA]

Send Trump and Vance the bill for the cost Springfield has incurred from their lies.

[cestjane]

His grandmother did a bad job raising him. No values. She must be a horrible person because the apple doesn’t fall from the tree.

[PappyHab]

These guys are fighting to stay out of prison.

[ericmcdonald]

Why are the people contacting JD Vance and not the local police, if these crimes are occurring?
