Critics are eating Vice President JD Vance alive after he told a crowd of supporters in Kansas City on Monday to vote against …him?
“I’m not gonna ask you to agree with us on every issue, because that would be impossible,” Vance told the crowd. “What I will ask you is if you wanna make America great, if you wanna protect your jobs, and hopefully build jobs in this beautiful factory, if you wanna make our streets even safer, if you want to rebuild the American dream for the next generation, vote against the crazy leadership in Washington DC”
Vance and the MAGA brand as a whole have made anti-establishment their ethos, with President Donald Trump’s supporters often saying they like him because he isn’t a “Washington insider.”
However, on Monday, critics hammered Vance and pointed out that he and Trump werethe “crazy leadership in Washington, DC”.
