Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate and a veteran of the U.S. Marines, ripped Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday for questioning his loyalty to the country.
Vance responded to an ad Harris cut accusing Vance of being loyal “only to Trump, not to our country.” The Republican vice presidential candidate hit back at Harris during a Trump campaign rally in Minnesota.
“Now, I saw the other day Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That’s the word she used; loyalty. And it’s an interesting word. Semper Fi. Loyalty,” Vance said, referencing the Marine Corps’ motto, Semper Fi, which typically translates to “always faithful” or “always loyal.” “Because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border.”
“And I’d like to ask the vice president, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country. And my running mate took a bullet for this country,” Vance continued. “So, my question to Kamala Harris is, what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”
“The answer, my friends, is: nothing. So let’s send a message to the media. Let’s send a message to Kamala Harris. Let’s send a message to every hardworking patriot from Minnesota across the country. We are ready to have President Donald J. Trump back, and we’re going to work our tails off to make sure it happens,” he said.
After Trump named Vance as his vice presidential pick, Harris cut an adtargeting the senator from Ohio, characterizing him as a “rubber stamp” for Trump’s “extreme agenda.”
“Trump looked for someone he knew would be a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda and make no mistake: JD Vance will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country,” Harris says.
Vance has peppered Harris with criticisms since President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race on July 21 and endorsed Harris for the presidency. Harris has reportedly secured the pledges of enough Democratic delegates to the party convention to get the nod as the official Democratic Party candidate for president.
Vance was quick to accuse Harris of effectively being a rubber stamp for Biden’s presidency soon after the president’s endorsement was made.
“Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way. Over the last four years she co-signed Biden’s open border and green scam policies that drove up the cost of housing and groceries,” Vance said.
