Trump’s team scrambles after JD Vance’s response to Georgia school shooting
Kamala Harris put out a statement with Vance’s comments and called for “action to keep our children safe."
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
Fascists are the only ones where more context makes them look worse.
They are doing this to themselves
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.
Children watch a ton of YouTube videos. So sadly, all the most annoying stuff exists because it works to get them to click...
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
they even quote the shit and it into the comments, even though it has captions LOL
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.
all other
Are you trying to imply the US is a first world country? /s
His kids are not in public school or in any sort of danger from a school shooter. Else he'd actually do something about it
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..
‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

he's already said, "we have to get over it." how is that so much worse than "it's a fact of life." ?
they're both fucking ghouls who cheer on the arms industries whether they're tearing through Palestine or american schools, really what's the difference?
edit: to clarify, I mean what's the difference between these two statements - why all the amplified outrage now?
they’re both fucking ghouls who cheer on the arms industries whether they’re tearing through Palestine or american schools, really what’s the difference?
one of them is an accomplished couch fucker, the other is dealing with extremely complex global geopolitics

James Donald Bowman was born on August 2, 1984, in Middletown, Ohio to Beverly Carol (née Vance; born 1961) and Donald Ray Bowman (1959–2023). He is of Scots-Irish descent. His parents divorced when he was a toddler. After Bowman was adopted by his mother's third husband, Bob Hamel, his mother changed his name to James David Hamel to remove his father's name while using an uncle's name to preserve his nickname, JD.
“People get shot at, look at Donny! Fuck I love this country!”
Delivered behind bullet proof glass with an armed team of mercenaries.
Mercenaries get paid. The guy standing around trump are just normal idiots with mercenary ambitions.
Once again, a maga/Republican is in trouble for saying out loud what they all believe.
I mean, I too hate that this is normal. Sending kids to school in prisons just isn’t my solution.
Do you think Trump's "October surprise" is going to be him swapping out VP candidates?
I mean, at least part of what he said isn't technically wrong.... School shootings are a "fact of life" in America.
And honestly, if we're not going to address the actual issue, which is guns at a national level, I wouldn't mind seeing every single school turned into a miniature 1980s Beirut.
Why not? Let's assign a Meal Team Six to every school. We'll get snipers on the roof, and random strip searches going on in K-12 education.
Maybe we can empower groups of students within each school to be miniature deputies who are tasked with keeping order among the other inmates, I mean students. We can call this the trustee program.
Oh, and by I wouldn't mind, I mean I would be horrified and it would traumatize at least an entire generation of children before the program was scrapped, but if we're already on this death drive and refuse to do anything meaningful, a part of me wants to see just how dumb we can really get.
His cultists are locked in they don't hear this stuff and if they did they don't care. Sad state of affairs
Rest of the world: are they?
But don't they want to make America great again and bring it to a place back in time when there were no school shootings because everything was so great? I thought that was their whole platform?!
Clearly this is all because of the litter boxes. That's the cause of the rise in school shootings.
Trump's "if it makes us look bad it's a lie!"
And if I did mean it, you deserved it.
JD Vance's next speech
“Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.”
Next thing you know Vance will be pushing legislation requiring that every public school classroom have an AR-15 in it, and every teacher be required to regularly pass a test demonstrating proficiency with it…

Helluva a pick there, donnie. Seems that the couch-fucker being very very weird only reflects on how weird you are.
I'm not reading all that but I assume he said something like "If we had fewer childless liberals in this country, we'd already have replacements for the dead ones."
Bruh. You expended more effort by replying than if you had just read it.
