Senator JD Vance’s statement about the shooting at Trump’s rally was a new low, even compared to the already low standards he had set for himself.
Senator Vance posted:
Today is not an isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
It is still unknown who the shooter was, whether he had political motives or why he did what he did.
None of this stopped J.D. Vance from blaming President Biden, who never said that Trump had to be stopped at all costs. Biden’s point has always been that Trump has to be defeated democratically at the ballot box. The only way to defeat Trump’s authoritarianism is through democracy.
Republicans are showing that they are the reason the nation is polarized. President Biden is trying to unite the nation, while Republicans have turned the rally shooting into a partisan issue.
It appears that Vance wants to use the shooting that left one person dead and another injured to secure the vice presidential position on Trump’s slate.
America does not need political opportunists like JD Vance further dividing the country for his own political gain.
