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.
“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
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.
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
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.
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…
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…
“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.”
The psychos are the students! What school is gonna prevent a student from walking in? If you are intended to be inside the building there will never be enough security to keep killers out when the killer is already in the building. They would have to start cavity searching students because if they want to shoot up the school they would find a way.
The only solution is LESS guns available!

I guess no one remembers the fire alarm fiasco… March 24, 1998

They’re charging the dad again here.
I don’t think that’s appropriate for every case, but when the parent provides access to an AR-15 with a child that has shown clear signs of mental instability… yeah, that’s negligent homicide.
Poverty no, fascism, you can help those most vulnerable to believing it get the help they need so they are no longer suspectible to it.
