Vice President JD Vance delivered a fiery speech in Concord, North Carolina on Wednesday, ripping Democrats and radical left-wing media outlets for their dangerous rhetoric against law enforcement and ICE.
According to the White House, his visit was framed around “tax policy and the Trump Administration’s commitment to empowering state and local law enforcement.” But Vance quickly turned his remarks into a defense of the men and women serving on the front lines of America’s immigration crisis.
“I think that is the most disgusting thing. The very people who keep us safe ought to be honored, protected, and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike. It is time to stop the rhetorical assault on law enforcement,” Vance said.
Vance singled out California Governor Gavin Newsom for accusing ICE agents of being part of an “authoritarian government,” blasting the media for parroting those lies and emboldening unhinged leftists to commit violence.
