Once again he refuses responsibility for his own rhetoric.

[dannmarceau]

His own supporters are turning on him, taking shots at him; he blames others, but have you ever listened to the guy? Everyone is sick of him.

[TamoraLacy]

His own mouth and behavior are driving these attacks

[donnalthood]

I am from Cincinnati, Ohio....not that far from Middletown, bought JD Vance's book. I want my money back! And, PS, JD Vance, no one is shooting at Kamala because she is not a threat to our values and Democracy! That said, Political violence is not what this Country stands for...it should not be tolerated.

Sorry JD but we won’t be doing that. We’ll NEVER stop calling you weird. It’s just a “fact of life” 🤷‍♂️

[maehead]

The United States has never had a President that went violent after losing. Please vote vote 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 please

[roberts]

"Somebody's going to get hurt by it". What about the Haitians and others in Ohio being hurt by Vance's rhetoric? How typical of them to accuse Democrats of the things they themselves are doing.

[TimSmith-ey]

what? really? vance and comrade bone spurs should be held accountable for all the racial hate crime that happens in Springfield.

Nobody to blame but
VANCE & TRUMP .. Nobody else
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[normanspurgeon]

When the previous secretary of defense says "Don't let Trump in the White House again", that is not the left- that's a valuable warning-

[ld]

Springfield OH needs to file suit against Trump and Vance for loss of income and disruption of this town….they only know pain in their wallets!

[melodyszadkowski]

The only "threatening" I have heard so far is from Trump, Vance and their gaggle of followers. I am sick of all of them.

[dustindavis]

Weren't BOTH of the shooters conservative?
Rhetorical question.

[donnamoore]

They're the ones spewing hateful rhetoric. For crying out loud, Vance said that he'll knowingly lie to win

[Christine-zo]

Now, I know what ‘gaslighting is’ please vote 💙💙💙💙💙 for the global community. Love and support from Europe

[cherylgrec]

Agree. Never saw violent rhetoric until 2016 election. It is disgraceful what he has done to this country. Vote blue for freedom and decency. 💙🇺🇸💙

[James-ymij]

Vance should be expelled from the senate.

[lincolnlawyer]

Didn’t JD Vance say”we need to get use to it” and Trump said “you need to move on”. So I’m doing both.

[Beth-sl]

This why we must vote blue in local, state & federal.

[YinkaLuvsRainbows]

Keep it up Dems! It's working! 💙💙💙
