Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Georgia that the massacres are sadly a “fact of life” and offered ways to fortify schools to make them safer against gun violence.
Kamala Harris put out a statement with Vance’s comments and called for “action to keep our children safe and keep guns out of the hands of criminals.”
And it appeared to strike a nerve with team Trump that she used Vance’s comments against them.
“Kamala’s interns just released a statement pushing FAKE NEWS,” Trump War Room posted to X with its more than 2 million followers. “Watch the full video and you’ll clearly see that JD Vance does not say what they claim he said. These morons do nothing but lie every single day.”
Except Harris’ campaign shared the same video.
Here’s what Vance had to say:
“I don’t like that this is a fact of life,” he said. “But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security at our schools. We’ve got to bolster security so if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children they’re not able.”
Vance said he doesn’t like the idea of his own kids going to a school with hardened security, “but that’s increasingly the reality that we live in.”
All of that was in what Harris’ campaign shared with her joint statement on the shooting with running mate Tim Walz. Vance said what team Trump said Vance didn’t say and accused the Harris campaign of distorting.

Rest of the world: are they?
“No fair using the entirety of what we said to make us look like shitbags!”
more like:
“No fair using the entirety of what we said to reveal we are shitbags!”
no one is making them look like anything
They are doing this to themselves
Fascists are the only ones where more context makes them look worse.
Does the J.D. stand for Jackass Dickhead?
Junior Dictator
Jorgen Depeanus Vance.
James Donald Bowman was born on August 2, 1984, in Middletown, Ohio to Beverly Carol (née Vance; born 1961) and Donald Ray Bowman (1959–2023). He is of Scots-Irish descent. His parents divorced when he was a toddler. After Bowman was adopted by his mother’s third husband, Bob Hamel, his mother changed his name to James David Hamel to remove his father’s name while using an uncle’s name to preserve his nickname, JD.

Trump’s “if it makes us look bad it’s a lie!”
And if I did mean it, you deserved it.
I like how they say “Watch the full video and you’ll clearly see that JD Vance does not say what they claim he said", knowing that the full video does the opposite, but their fans will never bother clicking on it.
Maybe the video needs a thumbnail of some open mouthed guy pointing at something. At least thats what virtually all of youtube thinks makes idiots watch their vids.
Children watch a ton of YouTube videos. So sadly, all the most annoying stuff exists because it works to get them to click…
Kamala posted sections of the full video, of course showing the bad comments from Vance. Trump posted only once section, but says watch the full video, while claiming all Kamala and her team do is lie. I’m actually trying to find the full speech and can’t. Pretty annoying since you know Trumpers will say Kamala is lying
they even quote the shit and it into the comments, even though it has captions LOL
Helluva a pick there, donnie. Seems that the couch-fucker being very very weird only reflects on how weird you are.
Do you think Trump’s “October surprise” is going to be him swapping out VP candidates?
Election rules don’t allow that in at least some places. Not sure how many.
Yet, somehow trump would be able to get away with it.
past a certain point you’re locked in for candidacy, RFK is already experiencing this issue himself, and republicans, predictably, and wrong about it.
RFK just won an ruling that kept absentee ballots from getting sent out in North Carolina because his name is on the ballots, so now the voting can’t start until the courts get everything worked out and all the ballots get reprinted if he wins the appeal.
People are literally being kept from voting right now because of him, and that benefits Trump.
yeah, that sounds about right.
I’m not sure how much it’ll benefit trump, aside from just delaying the vote process, RFK votes seem to be pretty split so far, but it’s hard to tell so who knows.
I’m not reading all that but I assume he said something like “If we had fewer childless liberals in this country, we’d already have replacements for the dead ones.”
Bruh. You expended more effort by replying than if you had just read it.
His cultists are locked in they don’t hear this stuff and if they did they don’t care. Sad state of affairs
Next thing you know Vance will be pushing legislation requiring that every public school classroom have an AR-15 in it, and every teacher be required to regularly pass a test demonstrating proficiency with it…

Delivered behind bullet proof glass with an armed team of mercenaries.
Mercenaries get paid. The guy standing around trump are just normal idiots with mercenary ambitions.
This guy is getting canned. Any day now.
Along with Peter Thiel’s money? No chance. Unless Elmo wants to double-down.
If he hasn’t given the money already I’m skeptical if it’s going to happen.
Downpayment now, the rest on delivery
Standard Terms of Political Bribery.
Ain’t going to be any delivery at this rate, that’s the problem.
I dunno, that would be Republicans supporting cancel culture.
Once again, a maga/Republican is in trouble for saying out loud what they all believe.
I mean, I too hate that this is normal. Sending kids to school in prisons just isn’t my solution.
Vance said he doesn’t like the idea of his own kids going to a school with hardened security, “but that’s increasingly the reality that we live in.”
Only in America. Weird that ‘reality’ ignores all other first world nations.
In the US the oligarchs worry about models of profitability like keeping wages dirt low, profits sky high and workers at each other’s throats rather than proven models of success like universal health care and sensible gun control employed by Europe and first world countries worldwide…
all other
Are you trying to imply the US is a first world country? /s
The definition of a first world country includes being a “stable democracy”.
If you ask Americans how likely they believe attempts at election fraud will happen in the 2024 election I would be shocked if less than 80% said “very likely”. That is not a stable democracy.

to be clear, most of the people that are going to say that are insane MAGA people that think biden is going to try and steal it…
The rest are non trumpers who think trump is going to steal it so…
That’s exactly my point. Pretty much everyone in the country believes “If who I vote for doesn’t win it will be because of election fraud.” If the citizens do not trust their country’s democratic process then it’s not a First World Country.
yeah this is definitely the biggest problem right now.
I’ve been predicting for a little while that if people don’t “change how they view the government in the next 5-10 years we won’t have a government at all in 10-20 years”
His kids are not in public school or in any sort of danger from a school shooter. Else he’d actually do something about it
