Vice PresidentJD Vancemade an interesting word choice on Monday when he called for Americans to “vote against the crazy leadership in Washington, D.C.”
That comment jumped out at some — considering Vance’s boss PresidentDonald Trumpis in the White House. And also because his fellow Republicans control both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
He made the remark while giving a speechat Milbank Manufacturingin Kansas City, Missouri. It came as he was telling the crowd he doesn’t expect them to agree with Republicans on every issue, but that he still believed his party was much better suited than the Democrats to address the needs of the American people.
“If you want to make America great, if you want to protect your jobs and hopefully build jobs in this beautiful factory, if you want to make our streets even safer, if you want to rebuild the American dream for the next generation, vote against the crazy leadership in Washington, D.C.” Vance said.
He continued, saying Americans need to “vote against the congressional leadership that will stand and say ‘We care more about illegal aliens than we do American citizens.'”
Vance’s quote was quickly clipped and shared on X — and many users mocked him for it.
MS NOW contributorMolly Jong-Fastreacted to the clip by saying “Wait, remind me who’s in leadership right now?” Plenty of others made similar quips and observations.
