Donald Trumpās running mate, JD Vance, said in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Georgia that the massacres are sadly a āfact of lifeā and offered ways to fortify schools to make them safer against gun violence.
Kamala Harris put out a statement with Vanceās comments and called for āaction to keep our children safe and keep guns out of the hands of criminals.ā
And it appeared to strike a nerve with team Trump that she used Vanceās comments against them.
āKamalaās interns just released a statement pushing FAKE NEWS,ā Trump War Room posted to X with its more than 2 million followers. āWatch the full video and youāll clearly see that JD Vance does not say what they claim he said. These morons do nothing but lie every single day.ā
Except Harrisā campaign shared the same video.
Hereās what Vance had to say:
āI donāt like that this is a fact of life,ā he said. āBut 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. Weāve got to bolster security so if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children theyāre not able.ā
Vance said he doesnāt like the idea of his own kids going to a school with hardened security, ābut thatās increasingly the reality that we live in.ā
All of that was in what Harrisā campaign shared with her joint statement on the shooting with running mate Tim Walz. Vance said what team Trump said Vance didnāt say and accused the Harris campaign of distorting.
Only in America. Weird that ārealityā ignores all other first world nations.
Are you trying to imply the US is a first world country? /s
The definition of a first world country includes being a āstable democracyā.
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 āvery likelyā. 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 itā¦
The rest are non trumpers who think trump is going to steal it soā¦
Thatās exactly my point. Pretty much everyone in the country believes āIf who I vote for doesnāt win it will be because of election fraud.ā If the citizens do not trust their countryās democratic process then itās not a First World Country.
yeah this is definitely the biggest problem right now.
Iāve been predicting for a little while that if people donāt āchange how they view the government in the next 5-10 years we wonāt have a government at all in 10-20 yearsā
His kids are not in public school or in any sort of danger from a school shooter. Else heād actually do something about it
In the US the oligarchs worry about models of profitability like keeping wages dirt low, profits sky high and workers at each otherās throats rather than proven models of success like universal health care and sensible gun control employed by Europe and first world countries worldwideā¦
